Java JPanel tiled background image

Question

I currently have the code for creating a JOptionPane that tiles an image to the background no matter the size I set it to :)

package test;
import java.awt.*;         


        

Answer 1

An instance of java.awt.TexturePaint provides a convenient way to tile a BufferedImage. Related examples may be seen here. Given a TexturePaint, you can fill a component's background fairly easily, as shown here.

    private TexturePaint paint;

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2d.setPaint(paint);
        g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
    }
