Draw a shape and add it to cells in a JTabel. Help Please

Question

Hi all
I have written some code that draws a shape using Graphics2D.
What I am after being able to do is create this shape then place it in a cell of a JTable.
One Other thing is I need to create different color shapes for each row in the table.
is this posable ??
Any help would be appreciated

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RectangleDemo2D extends JFrame {
  private Color color1 = new Color(255, 3, 3);// Color
  private Color color1a = new Color(255, 3, 3, 155); // Color with Alpha
  private Color color2 = new Color(255, 255, 255, 155); //Color White
  int x = 150;
  int y = 150;
  int w = 12;
  int h = 12;
  int arc = 6;
  GradientPaint gradient = new GradientPaint(5, 0, color1, 5, 90, color2, false);
  final static BasicStroke stroke = new BasicStroke(1.0f);
  public void paint( Graphics   g) {
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    g2.setPaint(gradient);
    g2.fillRoundRect(x, y, w, h, arc, arc);
    g2.setPaint(color1a);
    g2.setStroke(stroke);
    g2.drawRoundRect(x, y, w, h, arc, arc);
    //ImageIcon ico = new ImageIcon("check.png"); // This adds a check image
   // g2.drawImage(ico.getImage(), x, y - 3, this);
  public static void main(String s[]) {
    RectangleDemo2D demo = new RectangleDemo2D();
    demo.setBackground(Color.white);
    demo.pack();
    demo.setSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
    demo.show();

Hi,
You can check out a similar thread where the poster has opted to use imageicons instead of shapes. That thread is here.

As for creating different color shapes for different cells of the jtable, it is definitely possible once you have a custom renderer for your jtable. Just read up on how to create custom table cell renderer.
