passing parameters to paint mtd

[themburu]

I have placed several applets on my web page and I able to pass parameters among them the problem is one applet is drawing some lines, I want to pass parameters to the paint method so as it updates the drawn lines to the new cordinate points specified by the requesting applet, I mean it should be dynamic but as I understand paint is called after init so how do I manage to keep on redrawing the lines as per the parameters passed.

Call the repaint() method when you want the jvm to call the paint() method.

Put the parameters somewhere the paint() method can see them.

There are sysem issues that make contemporary practice to utilize: Invoke Later () the established practice. This allows the system to schedule the repaint and return to code provided by application. It is needful that calls to paint() be Idempotent and be scheduled by the JVM.

To do as seems obvious in code results in sluggish display that sometimes hangs.

I haven't seen that. Do you mean the instead of calling repaint() directly from your code, you should call repaint() inside of an invokeLater(...) method call?
