I am using NetBeans, and I have a class that extends to JDialog, inside that Dialog box I have created a Tabbed Pane. The Tabbed Pane contains 6 different tabs, with 6 different panels of course. What I want to do is when I click on the different tabs, a diagram is supposed to be drawn with the paint method.
My question is how can I draw on the different panels with just one paint method in another class being called from the Dialog class?
Here is my code for the Dialog class:
package GUI;
public class NewJDialog extends javax.swing.JDialog{
/**
* Creates new form NewJDialog
*/
public NewJDialog(java.awt.Frame parent, boolean modal) {
super(parent, modal);
initComponents();
}
/**
* This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
* regenerated by the Form Editor.

This is another class that I have created for the paint method:
package GUI;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
/**

*/
public class Lienzo {
private int width = 5;
private int height = 5;
private int y = 5;
private int x = 0;
private int x1 = 0;
public Graphics Draw(Graphics g, int[] pistas) {
//Im not sure if this is the correct way to do it
//The diagram gets drawn according to values from an array
//The array is not always the same thats why I used the different Panels
for (int i = 0; i < pistas.length; i++) {
x = pistas[i];
x1 = pistas[i + 1];
g.drawOval(x, y, width, height);
g.drawString(Integer.toString(x), x, y);
g.drawLine(x, y, x1, y);
}
return g;
}
}
I hope you guys understand what I am trying to do with my program.
