Question

I am at a very strange problem, I have a customized JPanel, which I want to draw a circle, but nothing happens … here is my source, hope somebody sees the mistake, I can’t find it.

import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class CircleView extends JPanel {

public CircleView() {}

@Override
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.drawOval(10, 10, 50, 50);
    }
}

Answer 1

1) remove constructor

2) add super.paintComponent(g);

this one can run

class CircleView extends JPanel {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Override
    public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
        return new Dimension(100, 100);
    }

    @Override
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        int margin = 10;
        Dimension dim = getSize();
        super.paintComponent(g);
        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.drawOval(margin, margin, dim.width - margin * 2, dim.height - margin * 2);
    }
}
