Image Resizing

How can i re-size big images to fit small boxes?

See Lesson: Working with Images (The Java™ Tutorials > 2D Graphics) The Image class has a getScaledInstance method.

Doesn't seem to help. Here is the code

Code java:

---

Image pic;
public Screen(){
      pic = new ImageIcon("H://Workspace/Test/res/ball.jpg").getImage();
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
      pic = pic.getScaledInstance(290, 215, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
      g.drawImage(pic, 0, 0, null);
}

You'll have to be more precise than that. Exceptions? Compile time errors? Post an SSCCE that shows the problem

There are some good examples regarding image resizing here and there.
