How to reset jpanel...

[Maria Sachhause]

I have a drawing panel where I can draw lines etc.

Program works like this:

1. First mouse click makes start point (coordinates)
2. Second mouse click makes destination point (coordinates)
3. Line is drawn between those points
4. Third click draw a line from it coordinates toward center of jpanel

problem is this....

How to make Jbutton RESET, which set panel empty(as it was when program where started)without restarting.

What is the easiest way to do that?

super.paintComponent(Graphics g)

Some ideas:
1 — you can reset the member variables (x1, y1, ...) to be equal or offscreen, eg, -1 so that they are not drawn when the component repaints itself after you call repaint;
2 — you can use a member variable boolean in your paintComponent method which you control from your event code to turn on/off drawing of the lines.
