I'm using the Visual Editor plugin for Eclipse and am trying to put in an image that the user will be able to plot points on. What component would I use to do this?



Yes, its FIRST related :)

Sounds like you are working on code for a waypoint plotting system for autonomous code.

Do you want the source for this? Language is C#. Right-click on the field to add/modify waypoints.

Are you using SWT/JFace or Swing? In SWT I believe a Canvas can have an image as a background (check the API) , (and VE is not a very good SWT designer yet, I haven't tried 1.2 though). In Swing, I am not so sure.

I am using SWING.

Sean, thanks for the offer however the school will only let me develop in Java.

Why would they force you to use one language?

I'm guessing he is working on it in a AP Computer Science class.

AP Computer Science uses Java.

Well originally I was only using Java because that is all the school's computer had on them and didn't feel like going through the red tape to get something else. Our school doesn't allow us to use Firefox, thats how bad it is.

After a few days of attempting to get work done in Java... I think the trouble of getting permission for C# is worth it.

You can paint onto any Swing component, at least that's what the documentation says. Check this page (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/14painting/index.html) out for more information. There is also a tutorial (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/index.html) specifically on Java2D which will give you more information.
