 Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:26 pm Post subject: Using Canvas in NetBeans GUI |
 |
|
Hi, I am doing a team project to school. It's program where I get some data, process them, enable simple editing and so on... we already have every functions and also have the GUI. The GUI has a lot of buttons, radioButtons and so on.... also it has two canvases. The problem now is that I just cannot figure out how to draw to them.
So created that class JFrame so i have: public class MainGui extends javax.swing.JFrame { .....
there is generated code from NetBeans IDE, listeners for buttons and some other things for the project... also there are those canvases :
canvas1 = new java.awt.Canvas();
canvas1.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 255));
and
canvas2 = new java.awt.Canvas();
canvas2.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 255));
Now, can anyone tell me please how to draw to them? Just an example with a single line, but such that I can paste it to code or something like that.... I've been trying and searching for hours... few days you can say...
Thanks a lot for help. |

Drawing to a Canvas in NetBeans is the same as drawing to a Canvas without NetBeans. Try reading the manual:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/Canvas.html>
Which says "An application must subclass the Canvas class in order to get useful functionality such as creating a custom component. The paint method must be overridden in order to perform custom graphics on the canvas."
So, "new Canvas()" isn't going to cut it because you clearly didn't subclass anything, nor override paint(). Now try making a subclass, who knows, it might work. |
