Drawing Pixel with least effort

Hey everyone!

Can anyone tell me what is the quickest way to draw some pixels on a window? I am not that familiar with java and I have only programmed some typical university stuff in it (alogrithms but never any output other than writing files).

Now I need an easy way to draw some pixels without anything fancy...

Edit:
I am talking about programming a standalone app with JRE 1.4, so no 5.0 or applet...

any help appreciated!

(I haven't posted here for over 2 years I think :eek: )

heres a start

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Painting extends JPanel{

        public Painting(){
                super();
        }

        public void paint(Graphics g){
                Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                g2d.setColor(Color.red);
                g2d.drawLine(0,0,this.getWidth(),this.getHeight());
                g2d.drawLine(this.getWidth(),0,0,this.getHeight());
        }
       
        public static void main(String[] args){
                Painting g = new Painting();
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Draw");
                frame.setSize(200,200);
                frame.getContentPane().add(g);
                frame.setVisible(true);
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        }
       
}

something is wrong with the constructor, but it worked without, so you're my hero for today :)
Thx!
I will be having more questions soon, I guess :)
