my code is like belo

Graphics g = jPanel.getGraphics();
g.drawImage(parameters);

the code works fine. but if i resize the JPanel or minimize the window, all drawn image get vanished. please someone tell me how to solve this issue. thank you.

Sorry, but that is absolutely NOT the way to do it. If you're calling getGraphics() on a Component, you're doing something very very wrong.

Instead, extend JPanel (or JComponent) and override its paintComponent() method. Read this: Painting in AWT and Swing

Efficiency has nothing to do with it. Calling getGraphics() is just plain wrong. Did you read the link I gave you?
