Hard to say precisely without seeing the code, but it's very possible
that your Canvas has zero size. One of the AWT issues is that you have to
override the class to setPreferredSize().
If you look on the Java Tutorial downloads page, there is an archived
section on that AWT that is no longer included in the main tutorial. You
may find it helpful. If your code is short, someone on the list may be able
to review it when time is available.
Any particular reason you're not using Swing?
