Java Swing Tutorial: MAKE SHAPES, GUI help: drawing graphics

This tutorial will show you how to create shapes in Java without a visual editor. I will use 2 classes because i prefer to keep my drawing class separate from the other classes. This way the drawing class, does just that, draw.

I know your comment was from 5 months ago, but hopefully I can help someone else.

The "shapes.java" and the "draw.java" have to be in the same package for that to work.

hey! I ve seen many of your java gui tutorials. They have helped me. I ve been looking all over the internet to find how can i make a JButton be clicked only once and with no luck. The setEnabled method doesnt work for me.. Is there anything else?

Great!!!!!! repaint() is what I've been looking for all over the internet. I hate my CS teacher. She could have taught us this easy method instead of all the jumbo mambos. Theory oriented people sucks!!! Thank you again. Plz keep up the good work.

@tuhinbhatt1 Simply go to the actionListener of the button and load up the new class there. You can create a new object from the other class file that will load the constructor of the new class, which will then load all the methods on the other class. You can also create a new frame in the actionListener, simply by JFrame frame = new JFrame("frame"); and you can also close the current frame by thisFrame.dispose();
