Hi Lucas
Here is the class hierarchy for Graphics class. So when you call getGraphics ( ) on a component then it returns you an instance of class WGraphics which uses a lot of native methods. Note the presence of sun.java2d and sun.awt.windows packages.

public java.lang.Object
public abstract java.awt.Graphics
public abstract java.awt.Graphics2D
public abstract sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D
public sun.awt.windows.WGraphics extends SunGraphics2D implements PixelDrawPipe, PixelFillPipe, TranslateablePipe, SimpleRenderPipe, TextPipe, DeviceClipping

Thanx
Kishori
