how to draw x-y graph in Jpanel.--not in APPLET.

[vincent2001@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am writing a Destop simple UI --(extend from JFrame) on this JFrame ,there are two JPanel..

on Left JPanel ,there is standard JLabel,JTextField..Where User input x( 30)
on right Jpanel, I wanna draw a X-Y graph based on Y=sin(30)

I never use Graphic2D or Graphic before..it is not hard..what confuses me is that from all the exampls I saw, it seems like the Drawing can only do in APPLET??

The following exampl uses JPanel ( I can understand this part),but eventually the main class extends APPLET? How should i change to fit into my Destop UI which extends JFrame?

public class RectangleDemo extends JApplet {
    JLabel label;

    //Called only when this is run as an applet.
    public void init() {
        buildUI(getContentPane());
    }

    void buildUI(Container container) {
        container.setLayout(new BoxLayout(container,
                                          BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

        RectangleArea rectangleArea = new RectangleArea(this);
        container.add(rectangleArea);

        label = new JLabel("Click within the framed area.");
        container.add(label);

        //Align the left edges of the components.
        rectangleArea.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
        label.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT); //unnecessary, but doesn't hurt
    }

    public void updateLabel(Point point) {
        label.setText("Click occurred at coordinate ("
                      + point.x + ", " + point.y + ").");
    }

    public static void main(String s[]) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("RectangleDemo");

            }
        });
        RectangleDemo controller = new RectangleDemo();
        controller.buildUI(f.getContentPane());
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

class RectangleArea extends JPanel {
    Point point = null;
    RectangleDemo controller;
    Dimension preferredSize = new Dimension(300,100);
    int rectWidth = 50;
    int rectHeight = 50;

    public RectangleArea(RectangleDemo controller) {
        this.controller = controller;

        Border raisedBevel = BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder();
        Border loweredBevel = BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder();
        Border compound = BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder
                              (raisedBevel, loweredBevel);
        setBorder(compound);

        addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                int x = e.getX();
                int y = e.getY();
                if (point == null) {
                    point = new Point(x, y);
                } else {
                    point.x = x;
                    point.y = y;
                }
                repaint();
            }
        });
    }

    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        return preferredSize;
    }

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);  //paint background

        //Paint a filled rectangle at user's chosen point.
        if (point != null) {
            g.drawRect(point.x, point.y,
                       rectWidth - 1, rectHeight - 1);
            g.setColor(Color.yellow);
            g.fillRect(point.x + 1, point.y + 1,
                       rectWidth - 2, rectHeight - 2);

            controller.updateLabel(point);
        }

What happens if you replace JApplet with JPanel and remove the init() method?
