Adding an image to paint

[Aeon 43]

As the title says, I'm trying to add an image to the screen for my script, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. I found this thread which has a bunch of dead screenshots so it wasn't too useful. Any help in pointing me in the direction would be greatly appreciated!

See Hashtag's tutorial here:

The "Drawing an image" section.  Super simple, that's the tutorial that helped me with it

Step 1: Add this method to your main class to return Image objects from a URL:

 private Image getImage(String url) {
    try {
    	return ImageIO.read(new URL(url));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    	e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
}

Step 2: Create an Image property to store the image using this method:

 private final Image paintBackground = getImage("https://i.imgur.com/Muw7swQ.png");

Step 3: Draw the image using graphics in onPaint:

if (paintBackground != null) {
	g.drawImage(paintBackground, 30, 316, null);
}

@Succulent Thank you! I'd read through that thread at some point and I guess I didn't remember reading that...
