Hi I am writing a java applet, and i need to load photos into my applet. I am using the ImageIcon object to load my images, the problem is that i need to resize these images to thumnail sizes, anyone know how to do this in java, thanks?

Here's some code: import com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.image.*; import java.io.*; Thumbnail thumb = new Thumbnail( "c:\\mises.jpeg" , "c:\\thumbvon.jpeg" , "30" , "30" , "75" ); public class Thumbnail { //args ( image_name_to_thumb , thumb_name , thumbHeight , thumbWidth , 0_to_100_Quality_parameter ) public Thumbnail( String[] args ) throws Exception{ try{ main(args); } catch (Exception e) { } } public Thumbnail( String imageName , String thumbName , String thumbHeight , String thumbWidth , String Quality ) throws Exception{ try{ String[] args = {imageName , thumbName , thumbHeight , thumbWidth , Quality }; main(args); } catch (Exception e) { } } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { if (args.length != 5) { System.err.println("Usage: java Thumbnail INFILE OUTFILE WIDTH HEIGHT QUALITY"); System.exit(1); } // load image from INFILE Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(args[0]); MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(new Container()); mediaTracker.addImage(image, 0); mediaTracker.waitForID(0); // determine thumbnail size from WIDTH and HEIGHT int thumbWidth = Integer.parseInt(args[2]); int thumbHeight = Integer.parseInt(args[3]); double thumbRatio = (double)thumbWidth / (double)thumbHeight; int imageWidth = image.getWidth(null); int imageHeight = image.getHeight(null); double imageRatio = (double)imageWidth / (double)imageHeight; if (thumbRatio < imageRatio) { thumbHeight = (int)(thumbWidth / imageRatio); } else { thumbWidth = (int)(thumbHeight * imageRatio); } // draw original image to thumbnail image object and // scale it to the new size on-the-fly BufferedImage thumbImage = new BufferedImage(thumbWidth, thumbHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB); Graphics2D graphics2D = thumbImage.createGraphics(); // for nicer results try RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BICUBIC graphics2D.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_INTERPOLATION,RenderingHints.VALUE_INTERPOLATION_BILINEAR); graphics2D.drawImage(image, 0, 0, thumbWidth, thumbHeight, null); // save thumbnail image to OUTFILE BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(args[1])); JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(out); JPEGEncodeParam param = encoder. getDefaultJPEGEncodeParam(thumbImage); int quality = Integer.parseInt(args[4]); quality = Math.max(0, Math.min(quality, 100)); param.setQuality((float)quality / 100.0f, false); encoder.setJPEGEncodeParam(param); encoder.encode(thumbImage); out.close(); System.out.println("Done."); System.exit(0); } } import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class Viewer extends Frame { private Image image; public Viewer(String fileName) { Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); image = toolkit.getImage(fileName); MediaTracker mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(this); mediaTracker.addImage(image, 0); try { mediaTracker.waitForID(0); } catch (InterruptedException ie) { System.err.println(ie); System.exit(1); } addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}}); setSize(image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null)); setTitle(fileName); show(); } public void paint(Graphics graphics) { graphics.drawImage(image, 0, 0, null); } public static void main(String[] args) { new Viewer(args[0]); } }
