graphics object and dynamic drawing

Posted by Saurabh Agrawal on May 27, 2001 at 10:06 PM

how to get a graphics object associated with the current JFrame. And how to use it to draw ,for instance a line. I mean what is wrong with the following line of code.

class abc extends JFrame{
abc(){
Container container=this.getContentPane();
Graphics g= container.getGraphics();
g.drawLine(10,10,30,30);
}
public static void main(String args[]){
new abc().show();
}
}
