Drawing Multiple Images

Question

Can anyone tell me why the code below will not work inside a for loop? If I tell my image to be drawn outside of a loop statement it works just fine. However, I need it in a loop because I want the picture to be drawn repeatedly twenty times in xPos+40 increments.
public void paint(Graphics g){
                   super.paint(g);
                    for(int i=0;i<20;i++){
                         g.drawImage(dot, xPos, yPos, this);
                         xPos=xPos+40;
             }//close paint

Answer 1

Your code worked fine. Which makes me wonder if perhaps my problem lies outside of the code snipet that I gave. Could you look at this and see you can find any errors?
package dots;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Dots{
     //Variables
     private static DotsPanel dPanel;
     private static Image dot;
     private static Image vLine;
     private static Image hLine;
     private static int xPos;
     private static int yPos;
     private static class DotsPanel extends JPanel{
          public DotsPanel(){
               //call to the parent constructor
            super();
            dot = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("dot.gif");
            vLine = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("vertical.gif");
            hLine = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("horizontal.gif");
            xPos=10;
            yPos=10;
          }//close DotsPanel
             public void paint(Graphics g){
                   super.paint(g);
                    for(int i=0;i<20;i++){
                         g.drawImage(dot, xPos, yPos, this);
                         xPos=xPos+40;
             }//close paint
     }//close DotsPanel
     public static void main(String []args){
             JFrame dFrame = new JFrame("Dots");
                Container cont = dFrame.getContentPane();
                dPanel = new DotsPanel();
                //dPanel.setBackground(Color.black);
                dFrame.setSize(400, 400);
                dFrame.setResizable(false);
                dFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                dFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(dFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                cont.add(dPanel);
                dFrame.setVisible(true);
     }//close main
}//close Dots
