Paint in a separate class?

[Fozmik]

I'm trying to create a class which paints a square using the method paint (Graphics g). In another class, in my main method, I create an AWT frame and an object of the square-painting class, but the square does not appear on my frame.

How can I make something like this work?

code:

package prog; import prog.*; import java.awt.*; public class MainClass{     public static void main(String[] args){         Square brdSq1 = new Square(40, 0);         Frame game = new Frame("Test");         game.setSize(280, 280);         game.show();     } } //new file package prog; import java.awt.*; public class Square{     Color sqClr = new Color(0xf9, 0xf8, 0xea);     int sqX = 0, sqY = 0;     public Square(int x, int y){         sqX = x;         sqY = y;     }     public void paint(Graphics g){         g.setColor(sqClr);         g.fillRect(sqX, sqY, 40, 40);     } }

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Well, have you added the Square object to your Frame?

You could use the Frame class' [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Container.html#add(java.awt.Component)]add[/url] method, but the signature for that requires that you add a java.awt.Component object. Your Square object is not a Component, so it won't work there.

Do you understand the is a relationship in object-oriented programming?

I tried adding the Square to Frame with,

code:

game.add(brdSq1);

and making the Square a component with,

code:

public class Square extends Panel{ ... }

It is still not appearing though

*edit* It works now, thanks
