The documentation says I can't create a new graphics context,
but I can make a new one based on an old one. I'm trying to
display an image outside of the paint routine. I've tried to
access an instance of Graphics through such things as:
Graphics g = Graphics(); <== but this a protected constructor.
Graphics g = new Graphics <== just plain stupid but I'm at the
stage where I'll try anything.
Grahpics g = getGraphics(); <== compiles, but won't run.
Graphics g = create(?,?,?...) <== but not sure how this works
Graphics g; <==compiles, but won't run.
When I say "won't run" in the above examples, I mean I get the
"applet not initialized error".
I know I need an instance of Graphics in order to use
drawImage (ie. g.drawImage(...)). This is easy enough inside
the paint routine since one is automatically passed (ie.
paint(Graphics g); but how can I do this outside of the paint
routine?
