That's all there is to the new drawImage in Java 1.1. If the image is transparent, you can provide a background color that will seep through. Otherwise, the optional
parameter is ignored. Unfortunately, you cannot use drawImage to rotate the image. If you do want to rotate the image, you have to do more work and subclass ImageFilter, just like with Java 1.0.
