Class with graphics

When I use a textfield class, I declare an object and then I add it to the form and I can interact with it. I wanted to make a dice class (click and get a new random number). But how would I go about the drawing part? All the graphics/drawing I've come accross so far is on a JFrame (and the void paint method). Also do I need anything else special to be able to add it to a JFrame and interact with the class?

Hope this makes sense :D

Thanks :)

Well, I got pointed towards awt. I guess I have a lot of searching to do... Another idea someone had was to inherit another class (like textfield or something) and alter that...

Any thoughts on this?

java.awt.Graphics. Just turn the number into a String and use g.drawString(String s, int x, int y)

I always like created a differernt class for the drawing that extends Canvas. I liked the split functionality, and it makes it easier for the painting because sometimes it can get messy in the same class.
