How to add one image onto another in java

Question

I have an image with a plain background. Now I need to place another image onto it at (x, y) location. How is it possible?

Answer 1

Create a BufferedImage with desired size. Use getGraphics() of the image and paint the first image and then the second one. Graphics has the method

public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, 
                      Color bgcolor,
                      ImageObserver observer)
