The Canvas, Frame, Panel, and Applet classes support painting.
In Core Java, three Component subclasses that support painting are:
- javax.swing.JPanel:
JPanel
is a lightweight container that is often used to group other components and provide a space for custom painting. - java.awt.Canvas:
Canvas
is a component that allows for custom graphics drawing. You can subclassCanvas
and override itspaint
method to perform custom painting. - javax.swing.JComponent:
JComponent
is the base class for all Swing components that can be customized. It extendsContainer
and provides support for painting through methods likepaintComponent
.
These classes provide a way to perform custom painting by overriding their respective painting methods, such as paintComponent
for JPanel
or paint
for Canvas
.
