Hello,

I have two questions about images :

1. How can I download an Image from within a JAVA Application ?

The method 'getImage(URL)' works with Applets but not with 
Applications. And the following statement doesn't seem to work :

Image myimage;
myimage = (Image) myURL.getContent();
(where myURL has been declared and initialized )

2. Is it possible to define my own image format ? And how ?

I would like to use images compressed with another algorithm
than jpeg. I have a DataInputStream that contains the data and
two int for the height and the width of my image. The problem
I have, is to create a new method 
'public Image createImage(int width, int height, DataInputStream data)'
in a particular class.
Expressed in a more general way : how to create an image from its
pixel values and dimensions ?


Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance,

Vincent
