Drawing issues

Question

I create a jframe and a jpanel and try to add graphics to the jpanel (I also tried the jframe) but the graphics do not come up. What am I doing wrong? The code that I have is:
public void showStats(){
          Graphics g;
          JFrame tframe = new JFrame();
          JPanel p = new JPanel();
          tframe.setSize(200,200);
          tframe.add(p);
          tframe.setVisible(true);
          p.setLayout(null);
          g = p.getGraphics();
          g.setColor(Color.red);
          g.fillRect(10,10,50,50);
     }When a button is clicked it calls this method.

It's all wrong as you don't get graphics via getGraphics, you use a paintComponent override in your JPanel. Please read the Sun graphics tutorials for details.
