I'm trying to find what is wrong with this short code. I can't print the String TEXT in my JFrame
using drawString()
method. Please Help . Only a plain white screen will appear if you run the program .
Code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class sample extends JFrame
{
private JPanel panel;
public sample()
{
setSize(500,500);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setVisible(true);
panel =new JPanel();
Container mainP= getContentPane();
mainP.add(panel);
panel.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
panel.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
}
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D eg = (Graphics2D)g;
eg.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
eg.setColor(Color.BLACK);
eg.drawString("TEXT", 40, 120);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
new sample();
}
}
JFrame
has no paintComponent
method. So you aren't override anything , and not painting will be done.
On that note JPanel
does have a paintComponent
method, and you should be painting on a JComponent
or JPanel
, which do have the method. You don't want to paint on top-level containers like JFrame
. (if you really need to know though, the correct method to override is paint
for JFrame
).
That being said, you should also call super.paintComponent
inside the paintComponent
method so you don't break the paint chain and leave paint artifacts.
Side Notes
As good practice, make use of the @Override
annotation, so you know you are correctly overriding a method. You would've seen that paintComponent
doesn't override one of JFrame
s methods.
setVisible(true)
after add your components.
panel.setBounds(0,0,500,500);
will do absolutely nothing, since the JFrame
has a default BorderLayout
Follow Java naming convention and use capital letters for class names.
