So far, this is what I have figured out, which is not much.(Graphic Java
Mastering the JFC Vol II: Swing p.138)
What is the difference between paint() and paintComponent()?
The Jcomponent.paint() method actually delegates the work of painting to
three protected methods: paintComponent, paintBorder, and paintChildren.
They're called in the order listed to ensure that children appear on top of
component itself.
If the UI delegate is non-null (what if it is null?),
Jcomponent.paintComponent() invokes the delegate's update() method, which
clears the background for opaque components and subsequently paints the
components.
I think I am missing the big picture. Please, share any knowledg or
resources you may have on this topic!
Thanks.
