how to remove images drawn by using Graphics Object

Hi,

I am developing one application.I have drawn some shapes on Panel object like line, Triangle etc using Graphics object. now my requirement is to select and delete required shape. i used some mouse events and selected one of the shapes. Now how to remove the selected shape? If i call paintComponents(Graphics g)method all the shapes on panel object are removing. But i want to remove only the selected one. Please help me.

Thanks in advance,
Usha.

Keep track of the objects that should be drawn in a data structure (list, map, set) and repaint them all when there is an update to that group of objects. That allows you to add new ones, remove old ones, move them around, etc...
