paint is an important method in applets which is defined in parent component class as the null method |
It must be overwritten by any dynamic applets that need to update display. |
import java.awt.*; // imports all classes in java.awt package -- this applet needs Graphics, Font, Color which could be listed separately |
public class HelloWorld extends java.applet.Applet { |
Font f = new Font("TimesRoman",Font.BOLD,36); |
public void paint(Graphics g) { |
g.setFont(f); |
g.setColor(Color.red); |
g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25); } |
} |
