Hi all, this place always delivers the goods so dont let me down.

I am just starting to learn a little java graphics and have a small problem. When i set the stroke colour or fill colour nothing happens, the shape is drawn with a standard colour and is never filled. I have two classes, draw() and shapes() the code for both is shown. what am i missing people?

draw,

package drawingShapes;

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


public class draw extends JPanel {

	public void drawing() {
		repaint();
	}

	public void paintComponent (Graphics g){
	this.paintComponent(g);

	g.setColor(Color.green);
g.fillRect(10, 15, 100, 20);
  

	}
}

shapes,

package drawingShapes;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

/**

public class shapes {
public static void main (String[] args){

JFrame frame = new JFrame("test frame");
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(400, 200);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
draw yourObject = new draw();
frame.add(yourObject);

yourObject.drawing();
}
}

First to solve wins a thumbs up!

this.paintComponent(g);

Shouldn't that be:

super.paintComponent(g);

That Made no difference
