Java Drawing Basics 1

Here's an intro to Java Graphics using BlueJ. I am new to BlueJ so as I am teaching you guys I will also be troubleshooting. Hope you enjoy! :)




Here's the template I was using in the video:
/*This is the code that will get a program set for graphics

import java.awt.*;//needed for graphics
import javax.swing.*;//needed for JFrame window

public class programName extends JFrame //need this to make a graphics window

{ //open program

public programName() {//start constructor

Container c = getContentPane();//c is the name...can be changed
c.setBackground (Color.white);//makes the background white...color can be changed

}//end constructor

public static void main(String[] args) {//open main method

programName w = new programName (); //w is the variable that will define this graphics class
w.setTitle("MAKE THIS THE TITLE OF YOUR WINDOW");//makes a header for the window
w.setSize(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize());
//w.setSize(300,300);
w.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);//stops program from running when X out
w.setVisible(true);//allows window to open

}//end main method

public void paint (Graphics g)
//allows for painting and drawing to take place in the frame we have created. g is a variable
//In this method we will make the drawings and graphics

{//open paint method
super.paint(g);//another command for painting and drawing to take place in the frame we have created

Font font1 = new Font("Serif",Font.BOLD,50); //creates a font setting for text on screen
g.setFont(font1);
g.drawString("TEXT HERE",500, 740);

g.setFont(font1);
g.drawString("MORE TEXT HERE",300,90);

}//close paint method

}//close program
