Resize a picture to fit a JLabel

Question

I\'m trying to make a picture fit a JLabel. I wish to reduce the picture dimensions to something more appropriate for my Swing JPanel.

I tried with setPreferredSiz

Answer 1

Or u can do it this way. The function u put the below 6 lines will throw an IOException. And will take your JLabel as a parameter.

BufferedImage bi=new BufferedImage(label.width(),label.height(),BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);

Graphics2D g=bi.createGraphics();

Image img=ImageIO.read(new File("path of your image"));

g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, label.width(), label.height(), null);

g.dispose();

return bi;
