applet能显示GIF,JPEG,BMP等其他格式的图片。为了在applet中显示图片，你需要使用java.awt.Graphics类的drawImage()方法。

如下实例演示了显示图片的所有步骤：

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
public class ImageDemo extends Applet
{
  private Image image;
  private AppletContext context;
  public void init()
  {
      context = this.getAppletContext();
      String imageURL = this.getParameter("image");
      if(imageURL == null)
      {
         imageURL = "java.jpg";
      }
      try
      {
         URL url = new URL(this.getDocumentBase(), imageURL);
         image = context.getImage(url);
      }catch(MalformedURLException e)
      {
         e.printStackTrace();
         // Display in browser status bar
         context.showStatus("Could not load image!");
      }
   }
   public void paint(Graphics g)
   {
      context.showStatus("Displaying image");
      g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, 200, 84, null);
      g.drawString("www.javalicense.com", 35, 100);
   } 
}
