Java 2d graphics

[aswen singh]

Guys i need help on the java graphics coding....basically this is my painter code....

Basically all i want is a rectangle that is red color with a stroke color (border) of black. But my question is how to set color for the stroke? i tried drawing the square then after that setPaint to black & draw again but dosent work that way either....been trying so many other ways & google-ing but couldnt find any result...

public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
    	super.paintComponent(g);
    	Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
        
        
        	int strokeValue = mainClass.rectObject[i].strokeWidth();
        	System.out.println(strokeValue);
          

        	Rectangle2D.Double square = new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, w, h);
        	g2d.setPaint(Color.Red);     
         g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(strokeValue));

         g2d.draw(square);
        
         
    	}

possibly create 2 rectangles
1) draw() - which will give you the black border
2) fill() - this is red and will be the inside, so the x,y,w,h will need to be adjusted for 'strokeValue'

don't know what you're doing, but might be a lot easier using a component

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Board extends JPanel
{
  public Board()
  {
    setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,200));
    setBackground(Color.RED);
    setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(5,5,5,5,Color.BLACK));
  }
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
      public void run(){
        JPanel p = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        p.add(new Board(),new GridBagConstraints());
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.add(p);
        f.setSize(800,600);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
      }
    });
  }
}
