Re: How do I paint on an existing Panel?

Sorry, I'm stumped, again. I really have been trying to sort it out
myself, but no luck. I've done it by adapting Knute Johnson's code
(which works fine in itself). Mine now defines a line and calls
repaint() as nice as you like, but there's no answer.
I've chopped the code back to just the bits directly involved with the
drawing and sprinkled debugging statements everywhere, which established
that the bit that calls paintComponent() (via repaint() - that's right
isn't it?) is firing but paintComponent() itself isn't. Here's what's
left, if you're interested. Sorry if anyone finds it hard to read, I
don't know how you like it formatted.

You need to follow the example I gave you a little closer. I would
extend JPanel rather than JFrame. You can draw on the JPanel. I would
put the MouseListener into the JPanel rather than implementing it on the
JPanel. That you can do with a MouseAdapter and you don't have to
create all of the methods. You need to change the order in which you
set up your GUI. You do not want to make it visible until you have
created all of the part. You also need to wrap all Swing GUI creation
code in EventQueue.invokeLater() so that it will be created on the Event
Dispatch Thread. The example I gave you shows that.
Note also that you rarely need the ContentPane of a JFrame anymore.
JFrame.add() has been modified to add the Component to the JFrame's
ContentPane.
