First let me apologize if this is the wrong place for this message. I've been using jswiff for a couple days now, and it's wonderful, but I'm new to this whole game. My issue is that i'm trying to draw a jpeg to the screen. In order to do that, I think I need to call DefineBitsJPEG2, but I don't honestly know how to get the byte array that represents the jpeg that I have on disk.

I've read the file straight into a byte array (I know, it doesn't sound right), and it works MOST of the time, but sometimes I get big rendering errors.

Any thoughts?

thanks in advance.

See my other post. Does that help? There are 4 extra bytes at the beginning of the data array. For my particular images (this may not apply in all cases) the extra bytes are FF D9 FF D8.

If you're doing more complicated stuff, take a look at the BufferedImage and ImageIcon classes. Image and Graphics might be useful, but they're more obvious.

Now that's weird. According to the ITU spec (http://www.wotsit.org/download.asp?f=itu-1150PDF) FFD9 is "end of image" and FFD8 is "start of image".
