This is great. I knew there had to be an easy way to do this! It should be in the basic Netbeans tutorials.

You should import java.awt.Graphics.

Netbeans can do it for you, just click with the right button on the editor and “Fix Imports”

Hi, I really need some help guys,
I installed Netbeans lately, and I have to design some shapes, in java, using graphics/paint sth, Im not sure what are these methods.

I write there:

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
//method to draw text on screen
// String first, then x and y coordinate.
g.drawString(“Hey hey hey”,20,20);
g.drawString(“Hellooow World”,20,40);
}

And I get the error that there is no package called Graphics, what should I do?
Should I Import some kind of package,, I would appreciate a lot if you help me.
