I am working on a tree cell renderer (currently, extends

I need them. Here's an explanation of what I mean.


If the tree is displaying a node and the node is in its default state,
I want this:
[Icon]

If the tree is displaying a node and the node is "opened":
[Icon]

If the tree is displaying a node and the node is "opened" and has a
note attached:
[Icon{n}]

Basically, I want to be able to draw what I need (on the fly) so I can
build up the icon. I do realize I could just create every possible
icon and display the right one depending on the state of the
underlying node, but that seems to be very inefficient, especially as
I add more nodes.

Hopefully this message makes sense. Can anybody provide any insight?
You can create an Icon for every state that node can have (which looks like three from here). You should create an image (for example a png image) for those states, and then use ImageIcon()
