question on arguments for painting components

[jazzermonty]

Hi folks, been a while. Here's my question. I want to paint components onto a JPanel that I can make their behaviour independent. I want to use different methods to do this. Here's an example code:

package myPaCKAGE;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;

public class image
{

    private int width, height;
    private Object square;

    public Picture(int width, int height)
    {
        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
        this.square();
    }
   
    }
    public void square(Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawRect(10, 10,10, 10);
        g.setColor(Color.red);
    }     
}

Question is what do I pass as an argument on the line:

this.square();

so that I can invoke the method to create the object?

Thanks

If you do happen across this thread again, can I just say a hugh thank you. That tutorial is just the ticket and I've managed to do more in the last 15 minutes than the whole of last night. Is your google foo strong or do you know the tuorials that well? I searched and searched last night and didn't come across this. I'll leave this thread open for another hour or so to see if you return before marking as closed. Once again I can't thank you enough.

Cheers
