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

Assign your image to a string. Eg image Now set icon to a fixed size label.

image.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(image.getScaledInstance(50,50,WIDTH)));
