Yes, I think you need at least a renderer and editor to make it usable:

Hi John,
A really big thank you for your demo.
I am impressed by the coloring
on the cell chosen and the grid's 4 by 4 appearance.
With a very few modifications this scratch pad
is complete.
Making comment about my earlier questions
and answers that you helped me with, that is,
making sub images out of a larger image.
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.help/browse_thread/
thread/3eb3b7a6599b23ab#>
I have removed the control of the fixed grid.
<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.java.help/browse_thread/
thread/76f86e4cfb54f6c6#>
I now move separate but shuffled sub images to
recombine into the original image.
It is highly graphical specific. Image movement is
not with a mouse but controls using
input from a JTextField(s) and a click on a custom drawing.
Your scratch pad helps me to keep track of
what numbered image to move when getting
to a stage of final alignment. There are 16
sub images.
Thanks again. I truly appreciate it.

Hi All,
Taking a second look at the problem
of a Scratch pad, and at Roedy's suggestion
to write my own ("skinning the cat"),
this program runs and accomplishes the task of
making a "scratch sheet". The "0,1,2,... 15' numbers are
entered in the JTextField and based on where the mouse
click occurs, the grid and click locations and numbers are
maintained throughout the run of the program.
I am frustrated by the list of errors that
are displayed "during the run". I want help to correct them.
Your help is appreciated. First the program
and then the list of errors.
TIA,
bH

You've got a couple of things that a null when you first draw them.
clickPoint and str. Just put a check in the test before drawing that
they aren't null.

Your program is organized a little funny. It would be better to use a
JPanel to draw upon and put it in the JFrame. You can set the preferred
size of a component, such as a JPanel, then pack the frame around it.
If you leave the frame's default layout manager, BorderLayout, it will
cause the components inside the frame to resize to fit the frame.
Generally one wants to avoid using the paint() method with Swing
components and use paintComponent() instead. However, using a JFrame to
draw on requires the paint() call.

In addition you don't need all of the setVisible() calls, just one on
the frame will do. I generally organize my applications this way;

public class X extends JPanel implements whatever {
     // declare the references to my components that I may need in any
     // listeners here but don't create them here

     public X() {
         // create any components here
         // add the components
         // set a preferred size
     }

     public void whateverAction() {
     }

     public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
         // draw on the component
     }

     public static void main(String[] args) {
         EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                 JFrame f = new JFrame();
                 X x = new X();
                 f.add(x);
                 f.pack();
                 f.setVisible(true);
             }
         }
     }
}
