I'm using the java swing and barbecue library to create a barcode printer that displays the barcode generated on the gui. However, im not sure why my code isnt working? When i clear the button the new image needs to be displayed but it doesnt however when i check the image folder i see the image does get updated and it clearly prints out that it does the method but is still not displaying ? Can someone help explain and show it how id fix the issue? I've included my code:

import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Container;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub BarcodeFrame frame = new BarcodeFrame(); // JFrame f=new JFrame(); frame.setTitle("Barcode Generator"); frame.setSize(600, 400); frame.setResizable(true); // you can resize the tab frame.setVisible(true); // just repaint whenever you call the caluclate button }

}
