How do you draw a grid in a JFrame

[Singing Boyo]

Is it possible to draw a grid within a JFrame? If so, how?
I am trying to create a grid to divide my JFrame into sections, but I cannot figure out how to draw a grid.
Can anyone explain to me how you draw a grid in a JFrame?

There can be several ways to do this, from using several JComponents in a grid and giving them line borders, to using a BufferedImage, getting its Graphics object and drawing lines within to drawing a grid within a JPanel's paintComponent method using the Graphics object passed as a parameter and calling Graphics#drawLine(...) on this Graphics object,...

More importantly: how much do you know about Swing graphics? Have you gone through the Sun Graphics tutorial? If not, I strongly urge you to do so before embarking on this as it will give you the underpinnings you'll need to understand what you are doing. You understand of course that you'll almost never want to draw directly on the JFrame, right?

Best of luck!

I do realize you rarely want to draw on the JFrame.

could you give me a link to that tutorial? I cant find it.
