Question

package donut;

import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;

import javax.swing.JPanel;


public class Board extends JPanel{

    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
      super.paint(g);

      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

      RenderingHints rh =
            new RenderingHints(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                               RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

      rh.put(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
             RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);

      g2.setRenderingHints(rh);

      Dimension size = getSize();
      double w = size.getWidth();
      double h = size.getHeight();

      Ellipse2D e = new Ellipse2D.Double(0, 0, 80, 130);
      g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(1));
      g2.setColor(Color.gray);


      for (double deg = 0; deg < 360; deg += 5) {
          AffineTransform at =
              AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(w / 2, h / 2);
          at.rotate(Math.toRadians(deg));
          g2.draw(at.createTransformedShape(e));
        }
    }
}

Then The JFrame Extended Class Where Board Object is instantiated

package donut;

import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class Donut extends JFrame {


    public Donut() {

        add(new Board());

        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setSize(360, 310);
        setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        setTitle("Donut");
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new Donut();
    }
}

I was expecting to See Line Like this : new Board().paint(graphicsObject) So Where Actually This Line is executed Or in a proper way Where actually paint(Graphics g) function is called ?!

Answer 1

If you want to follow the invocation stack to paint(), simply write new Throwable().printStackTrace() or Thread.dumpStack(), this will allow you to follow the calling-stack.

Otherwise, have a look at RepaintManager.addDirtyRegion(JComponent, int, int, int, int);

Anyway, when you are painting to the screen, you should never call paint/paintComponent/paintXXX methods. Only call repaint().

You cannot rely on “when” your method paintComponent(Graphics) or paint(Graphics) will be invoked.
