Re: How do I paint on an existing Panel?

I expect this is a really obvious question; I must get round to getting
a bigger Java book! Part of my program starts by displaying a JPanel,
with an image put on it using paintComponent(). How do I then draw some
shapes over the top of that image when a particular button is clicked? I
can't just put them in paintComponent(), because they haven't to appear
at first. Would it be easier in an applet, rather than an application?
I'm sure this comes up in the example programs in the JDK package, but
for some mysterious reason they won't work. Wrong version of IE,
probably; have to look into that.
HI
I had the same problem! my solution is as follows
/*

package imagelibrary;
//~--- JDK imports
