This wraps in the functionality to use images within your image by using the WordPress media library functionality.
The credit for most of the logic for this class goes to Shane and Peter, Inc. in their Image Widget plugin.
Include this file into your widget plugin and then have your widget class extend WP_Image_Widget instead of WP_Widget.
class MyWidget extends WP_Image_Widget { ... }
Use the class as you would for any other widget with the exception of two addition methods for your use.
Use this when creating the widget form (in the from() method). Just pass in the name of the field and the instance array that was passed into the form() method. It will return the HTML to add to your form.
echo $this->wpiw_get_image_field( 'my_image', $instance );
Use this when output the widget (in the widget() method). Just pass in the name of the field, the instance array that was passed into the widget() method, and the optional options array. You can change the size of the output image with the size option just as you would for a post thumbnail.
echo $this->wpiw_get_image_output( 'my_image', $instance, array( 'size' => 'my_custom_defined_size' ) );
