Here is my code. I am trying to get multiple face objects (2 in this case)to appear in the jframe.


package smile;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.awt.*;

public class face extends JPanel
{

private final int x, y, z, q;
public face (int x, int y, int z, int q)
{
this.x =x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;this.q=q;
setBackground (Color.gray);
setPreferredSize (new Dimension (800, 700));
}


public void paintComponent (Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent (g);
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
g.fillRect(x, y, z, q); //black rectangle
}}


package smile;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class smile { public static void main(String[] args)
{


JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Rectangle");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
face panel = new face(20, 50, 400, 300);
face panel2 = new face(300, 500, 200, 150);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
frame.pack();frame.setVisible(true);
frame.getContentPane().add(panel2);
frame.pack();frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

Please disregard the curly bracket error. That was my mistake with the formatting. I am just getting one rectangle to appear not two.

First add the two faces to the (content pane of the) frame and only then pack the frame and set it to be visible.

kind regards,

Thanks

I now wrote

frame.getContentPane().add(panel);

frame.getContentPane().add(panel2);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);}}

I still get only one rectangle pair.

Make the preferred size of the faces smaller and set a LayoutManager to the content pane of your frame. (A FlowLayout will do). Also draw smaller rectangles in the faces.

kind regards,
