using multiple methods for graphics

[jforce93]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a java package that uses different methods to paint graphics onto the screen. I know all about paintComponent(Graphics g), but I'm trying to get it to work with different methods. I am totally lost :confused:

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks,

Jordan

I'm not sure we can help you yet without more information. What have you tried? What specifically don't you understand? The more specifics you can provide, the better anyone will be able to help you. Best of luck.

What I was trying to do was to create differant methods to draw differant things onto a JPanel. But, I figured another way to do it, (I sorta winged it) by using differant classes instead.

Well, then stick with what you know, because overriding the paintComponent() method is the proper way to do custom painting.

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Custom Painting.
