    Hey guys,

    Need to draw some shapes (Like stickmen, rounded rectangles, diamonds, etc...) Is it possible to do this with out overriding the paint() or paintComponents()?

    If I use paint() I always get refresh problems, that the image disappears if some other windows (example: message box) appears over it. Any suggestions?

    thx.

    use
    JPanel drawPnl = new JPanel()
{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        /* Draw Code here */
    }
};

    then add the Panel to your frame. You can of course just create a subclass of JPanel and override the paintComponent method either.
