   //method call to display image, takes the JFrame of graphics, the file location of the image, a JLabel object, as well as a Dimension as parameters
   //so to use this method simply call PutImage.displayImage(frame, imagelocation, label, dimension)
   
   // the imageicon is set to be on the label passed as a parameter, so the label must be added to the frame in another class/method
   //the dimension is used to set the size of the image to 1/2 of the screen
   // so, rather than adding the image to the Jframe like before, this now updates the label to contain the image
