In every applet or windows application, the windowing system creates an Image with a Graphics object to keep track of the state of the window.
|
In order to draw or write text to the window, you must override the paint method:
-
public void paint(Graphics g)
|
|
The Graphics object g has a current color and font that can be changed by methods
|
|
The window system can be interrupted for various reasons - the user resized it or some other window was put on top of it and then removed - and it does not save a copy of the pixels. Instead it calls a method called update(), which blanks the screen and then calls paint(g). So even if you only draw one window, paint can be called many times.
