Easy Q

[Evan]

I asked a question of why this other code didnt work.
I was givin this code here

public void paint(Graphics g) 
{ 
g.drawString("string",xloc,yloc); 
}

This writes directly on the applet?

So I tried to use it like this

/**Start the applet*/
  public void start() {
       paint(appletl);
  }

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString("Hi there",11,11);
}

It wont work. How do I call paint, and what is 'Graphics g'?

You don't have to call it. Look at this applet:

package test;
import java.awt.*;
public class test extends JApplet
{
  int x = 5;
  int y = 25;
  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
    g.drawString("Hello World", x, y);
  }
}

This will automatically paint "Hello World" to the applet.
