Hi Ken, I'm just at work and see that I call it indirectly through repaint().
To be honest, it confuses me a bit that there are the methods repaint(), paint(Grphics g) and even update(Graphics g). I'm sure that I read about the differences and when I have to use one or the other at the time I was first creating my panel, but now, I just don't know anymore the differences and meanings of them . . . .
