[Java] Drawing complex shapes using Swing?

cherrio

Hey guys,

Need to draw some shapes (Like stickmen, rounded rectangles, diamonds, etc...) Is it possible to do this with out overriding the paint() or paintComponents()?

If I use paint() I always get refresh problems, that the image disappears if some other windows (example: message box) appears over it. Any suggestions?

thx.

use

JPanel drawPnl = new JPanel()
{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        /* Draw Code here */
    }
};

then add the Panel to your frame. You can of course just create a subclass of JPanel and override the paintComponent method either.
