This might qualify as a repeat question, but no solutions I could find work for me. I have a JFrame
which is my root pane, on that frame I put a JLabel
, a JTextArea
, and a JPanel
. I have tried implementing the paint method to draw on the JPanel
but it doesn't seem to work.
Here is the code:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Insets;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
@SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class CelsiusConverterGUI extends JComponent{
public static void addComponentsToPane(Container pane) {
pane.setLayout(null);
JPanel emptyLabel = new JPanel();
JLabel Right = new JLabel("bye");
JTextArea text = new JTextArea("hi");
emptyLabel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(900, 400));
emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(900, 400));
emptyLabel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(900, 400));
Right.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
Right.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
Right.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
text.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
text.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
text.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(450, 200));
pane.add(emptyLabel);
pane.add(Right);
pane.add(text);
Insets insets = pane.getInsets();
Dimension size = emptyLabel.getPreferredSize();
emptyLabel.setBounds(0 + insets.left, 0 + insets.top,
size.width, size.height);
size = Right.getPreferredSize();
Right.setBounds(450 + insets.left, 400 + insets.top,
size.width, size.height);
size = text.getPreferredSize();
text.setBounds(0 + insets.left, 400 + insets.top,
size.width, size.height);
}
public static void createAndShowGUI(){
JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
addComponentsToPane(frame.getContentPane());
Insets insets = frame.getInsets();
frame.setSize(900 + insets.left + insets.right,
600 + insets.top + insets.bottom);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args){
javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
super.paint(g);
g.setColor(Color.RED);
g.fillRect(0, 0, 90, 40);
}
}
Please tell me why this doesn't work.
