| public void paint(Graphics g) actually has an argument and draws what you want on the screen |
| There is somewhat confusing other methods update() and repaint() which need to used in advanced applications. You may need to call repaint() in a dynamic applet to change display but update() would not need to be called as invoked by repaint(). However update() is sometimes best overridden |
| public void repaint() is a request by you to the Java runtime to update screen |
| public void update(Graphics g) is invoked by repaint() and performs the screen update which involves clearing screen and invoking paint() |
