(No swing)want two components in frame

Question

I am trying to add two components to a frame. They should lay next to each other left to right. No matter what I do they seem to display on top of each other. I have tried BorderLayout and FlowLayout, creating the image twice as large as needed and adding the components directly to the frame. Nothing seems to work. Do you see anything wrong with this code?
Frame f = new Frame();
Panel panel = new Panel ();
panel.add(leftViewer); //Add the view to the left side
panel.add(rightViewer); //Add the view to the right
f.add(panel);
f.addNotify();
Image im = f.createImage(w*2,h*2);
Graphics g = im.getGraphics();
rightViewer.paint(g);
leftViewer.paint(g);
g.dispose();

Answer 1

You're right. What I am actually trying to do is create an image from the frame and write a Jpeg. I discovered that when I show the frame, the contents are correct, but after I write the image and look at it, the two components are overlapped (one overwrites a portion of the other). This is the code I'm using
Frame f = new Frame();
// Add the two components as before
Image im = f.createImage(w,h);
Graphics g = im.getGraphics();
rightViewer.paint(g);
leftViewer.paint(g);
g.dispose();
String base="view";
Jimi.putImage(im, base + ".jpg");
