Java Programming: Java Applet and Paint Method

Java basic applet code is shown as below that loads an applet window and draws a string as an output with the help of paint method.

java basic applet code is shown as below that loads an applet window and draws a string as an output with the help of paint method.

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

/**/

public class AppDemo extends Applet
{
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        g.drawString(”writing4angels”,200,200);
    }

}

Execute the above code by first compiling the program and then using the appletviewer tool to test the applet. Applet is a web based dynamic program that executes in a web browser. But here we are testing the applet that can be later embedded in to web browser.

Compile the code on command prompt as follows:

javac AppDemo.java

Now, use appletviewer on command prompt to execute the program as follows:

appletviewer AppDemo.java

In the program shown here, there is a paint() method used to draw on the applet window. Here drawString() method is used with a string as an argument and it will be drawn on applet at 200 x and y axis position.
