From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


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); }
}
