JButtons Disappearing

[Hawwi]

I'm using a GridBagLayout to align these buttons to the left(WEST) side of the screen. Although i have come across a problem where only one button shows up, the grassTile button. I've tried different positions for the JPanel but nothing seems to work.

What's wrong?

                // Grass Tile
		final JButton grassTile = new JButton();
		grassTile.setIcon(new ImageIcon("res/grass.png"));
		grassTile.setVisible(true);
		grassTile.addActionListener(new grassTile());
		grassTile.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
		grassTile.setBorder(null);
		c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 3;
		guiPanel.add(grassTile, c);
 
		// Stone Tile
		ImageIcon stone = new ImageIcon("res/stone.png");
		JButton stoneTile = new JButton(stone);
		c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 4;
		stoneTile.addActionListener(new stoneTile());
		stoneTile.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
		stoneTile.setBorder(null);
		guiPanel.add(stoneTile, c);
 
		// Floor Tile
		ImageIcon floor = new ImageIcon("res/floor.png");
		JButton floorTile = new JButton(floor);
		c.gridx = 0; c.gridy = 5;
		floorTile.addActionListener(new floorTile());
		floorTile.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));
		floorTile.setBorder(null);
		guiPanel.add(floorTile, c);

Can you post an MCVE that demonstrates the behavior? Note that this shouldn't be your whole project, but it should be complete enough so we can see the problem. Start a new project and only add enough code to repeat the problem.

The image files are in the correct place and the buttons that aren't showing are the ones with images.

}

Is that what you were looking for?

The code basically works for me. I changed the width to 800 and the image locations to my folder:

      grassTile.setIcon(new ImageIcon("http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/images/duke.gif")); // "/scr/grass.png"));

images is a folder in the current directory when the code is executed.

I did it and double checked the file path and i am still getting this. It's the exact same on mac and pc!

To see where the computer is looking for the image, create a File object with the path to the image that you are using and print out the value of that File object's absolute path.

[Hawwi]

I probably should have said this earlier, but when i first did this on my pc the first image worked and displayed. The others had the same path but didn't show up, that's the problem. It's almost like they're out of bounds and don't fit in the seeable area!

[Norm]

Try it with images that fit.

[Hawwi]

The images are 32x32. Even when i take out the 3 visible buttons (button1, button2, button3), they still don't show up.

[Norm]

The code works for me.
What printed when you used the File object I suggested in post#6?
