Lag is probably not the accurate term but when I add an image to a button the entire frame doesn't display, at least not at first. Re-sizing the window displays all the buttons as intended.
Without the image this issue doesn't occur, so I'm guessing some intermediate retrieval->load step is happening and until that happens I just get this 'error.' So my question is, presuming that's correct what can I do to circumvent/correct that so everything displays immediately as intended?
Here is the code:
/* Author: Luigi Vincent Exercise: 12.1 -
* Create a frame and set its layout to FlowLayout
* Create two panels and add them to the frame.
* Each panel contains three buttons. The panel uses FlowLayout
*/
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Ex_1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Ex1_Layout frame = new Ex1_Layout();
frame.setTitle("Exercise 12.1");
frame.setSize(450, 250);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
ImageIcon valk = new ImageIcon("C:/MyWork/Images/valk.gif");
JButton alpha = new JButton("Disgaea");
JButton beta = new JButton("Riviera: The Promised Land");
JButton gamma = new JButton("Yggdra Union");
JButton delta = new JButton("Dissidia");
JButton epsilon = new JButton("Valkyrie Profile", valk);
JButton zeta = new JButton("Ragnarok Online");
JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
p1.add(alpha);
p1.add(beta);
p1.add(gamma);
p2.add(delta);
p2.add(epsilon);
p2.add(zeta);
frame.add(p1);
frame.add(p2);
} // End of Main
} // End of Ex_1
class Ex1_Layout extends JFrame {
public Ex1_Layout(){
setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 0, 0)); // Set FlowLayout, aligned left, horizontal and vertical gap of 0
}
} // End of Ex1_Layout
