Method paintComponent

Question

I have a class that extends Jpanel .
This class is in a JApplet .
When I call the method paintComponent of JPanel from the JApplet , I want only paint in the JPanel.
Instead the paint is done outer the JPanel.
In The JApplet I call paintComponent of JPanel to repaint.
How can resolve this problem?

The way to go is this.
If you want to paint in a jpanel you have to create a class that extend it.
Whithin that class you override method: public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
In paintComponent you do your painting.
It will like similar to this:
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
    g.drawImage(image, x, y, w, h,null);
    if(beingDragged){
      g.setColor(Color.black);
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
      g2.setStroke(BorderLines.getStroke(BorderLines.DOTTED));
      g2.drawRect(tempX, tempY, tempW, tempH);
    if(!selected) return;
    g.setColor(Color.black);
    g.translate(x, y);
    int xMid=w/2-3;
    int yMid = h/2-3;
    g.setXORMode(Color.red);
    // TL
    g.drawLine(0,5,6,5);
    g.drawLine(5,0,5,5);
}When you want to repaint your panel you call panel.repaint(). This method will eventually invoke your panel's paingComponent method.
Good luck.
