Paint problem =P

[santa]

Im a newbeginner on painting in java ... Im trying to paint a circle in a JPanel.
I made a class for the painting:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;


public class Graphic extends JPanel {
  

   public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
      super.paintComponent(g);

      g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
      g.fillOval(400, 400, 50, 50);
      

    }
   }

and in my GUI constructor i made a object and added it to my panel.

 Graphic g = new Graphic();
 cordinatepanel.add(g);

so why is it not painting anyting??? Thanks

Do you know if your Graphic panel is big enough to show the drawing, that it is larger than 400 by 400? After adding your Graphic JPanel and rendering your GUI (calling pack() or setVisible(true) on the top-level container), you may wish to call System.out.println(g.getSize()) to see how big the panel is.

the panel is y: 640 x :1200 =/

the panel is y: 640 x :1200 =/

That's its position. We need to know its dimensions. Its height and width.

Note that if this doesn't solve the problem, then you're going to have to post more code.

no not position ... cordinatepanel.setSize(1200, 640);

I'll state again what I've stated before:
