What do you mean by "stored in one"?

with delphi,  they have an image with has the enabled state and disabled
state, but it is on one gif image.  I am just wondering if in jbuilder as it
is made by the same people, borland, has an option to state the number of
images on one image, (if it makes sense) or will i need to write a custom
one

Thanjs

Interesting.  I didn't know you could do that with Delphi.  So, if I 
understand you correctly, they let you specify a GIF with multiple 
images (usually known as an animated GIF), and then let you specify 
which specific images within the GIF should serve as the "enabled" and 
"disabled" states.  That is so cool.

But... sorry, AFAIK the images in Java do not have this ability.  It 
should not be that difficult to implement, though, if you really need it.

I think it's more tiles than animation.  Say you have a 16x32 GIF, you
can divide that up into two 16x16 tiles.

JBuilder does this with its toolbar icons which are all tiles on a giant
image that contains dozens of icons.  One of the situations where I've
seen this used is applets where it can be helpful to reduce the number
of separate files that need to be downloaded -- download one big image
instead of 20 small ones.

You could use the com.borland.primetime.util.Icons class and the nested
IconFactory class as a model for the API.  The class is neither
documented nor redistributable, so you can't use it as is, but it looks
fairly simple and might offer some ideas.

Yeah in delphi, the buttons have this property called numGlyphs, and you can
specify the images to be used.  Look on the cd and find the images folder,
they are all there. :)

Cool, thanks for that, are you saying i cannot call the class but just look
at it and get ideas??

Right.  It's part of JBuilder itself and not something that you're
licensed to redistribute as part of your application.  You also don't
have source code to it, but if you browse to that class you can see the
methods it implements, and that might give you some ideas about how to
implement it yourself.

It's part of the "Open Tools SDK" library, so if you want to look at it,
add that to your project as a required library.  Then use "Find Classes"
(Ctrl-Minus) to browse to the Icons class.

See: http://www.java-engineer.com/java/jirt.html I think this is somehow
similar to what you are looking for (?).
