I am an avid programmer but today is my first Java lesson.
public void Paint (Graphics g)
{
if(g instanceof Graphics2D)
{
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
}
g.drawString("This is gona be awesome", 200, 200);
}
With the above code, I want to write a sentence on the window but it never writes. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: Never mind - Paint must be paint. I apologize profusely.
In the given code, what you want is
g2d.drawString("This is gona be awesome", 200, 200);

A working example for your reference :
package Experiments;
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class MainClass{
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame jf = new JFrame("Demo");
Container cp = jf.getContentPane();
MyCanvas tl = new MyCanvas();
cp.add(tl);
jf.setSize(300, 200);
jf.setVisible(true);
}
}
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
@Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
if(g instanceof Graphics2D)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2.drawString("This is gona be awesome",70,20);
}
}
}
