I have a mortgage calculation application (not
applet) that is all set up with a JFrame, JPanels, and all other JCompenents. Now, I would like to display graphics within this JFrame. From my main method, I call the instance method of my class to create the window, buttons, fields, etc and add actionListener(s) to my buttons. Now, I only know how to add graphics with the paint() method, but if I move my window creation code to my paint() method and subsequently end it with repaint(), the results are unacceptable with every refresh.
If I keep my instance method in their to create the window and try to add a paint method for the graphics only, it overrides my complete window.
Is there a way to add graphics and animation to a JFrame without using the paint() method?
Thanks in advance....
