Set Color as int value for use in setRGB(int x, int y, int rgb) method? -- Java

Question

Any other errors aside, I need a way of converting my Color grayScale into an int. When I plug in the Color, I get an error. setRGB method takes an x, a y, and an rgb int as parameters. How do I change my Color into an int?

        File f = new File(filename);
        //assume file is the image file
        try {
            image = ImageIO.read(f);
        } 
        catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Invalid image file: " + filename);
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }

    public void show() {
        final int width = image.getWidth();
        final int height = image.getHeight();

        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Edit Picture"); 

        //set frame title, set it visible, etc
        content = frame.getContentPane();
        content.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(width, height));
        frame.pack();
        frame.setResizable(false);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        //add a menubar on the frame with a single option: saving the image

        frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);

        menuBar.add(fileMenu);

    }

    public void grayscale(int width, int height) {
        for (int i = 0; i < width; i++) {
            for (int j = 0; j < height; j++) {
                Color color = new Color(image.getRGB(i, j));
                int red = color.getRed();
                int green = color.getGreen();

This only returns a black screen with my menu bar. :/ – Ruben Martinez Jr. Oct 10 '11 at 03:23
@RMartin: What are you getting with these - `int rGray = red*(1/3); int gGray = green*(2/3); int bGray = blue*(1/10);`? – Bhesh Gurung Oct 10 '11 at 03:31
@BheshGurung I'm calculating the grayscale values. Technically it should be more like *.29, *.58, and *.11 I believe, but then I would need to use doubles, and I can't use doubles with this method :/ Not sure how I would use them otherwise. – Ruben Martinez Jr. Oct 10 '11 at 03:34

Take a look at what values (1/3), (2/3), and (1/10) actually have, then note that you are multiplying your red, green, and blue values by those numbers.

The color is an Object. An rgb is an int. Use colorName.getRGB() to get the integer RGB value of that color.
