Hi, I'm trying to extend the awt.Graphics class to include a few new 
methods including circle drawing. I'm just getting started and I'm not 
sure why the code fragement shown below doesnt work...

import awt.*;

public class MikoGraphics extends Graphics
{

protected MikoGraphics() {
/* null constructor */
}

public void fillCircle (int center, int radius)
{
System.out.println("Yep, it gets here all right!");
}
}


My understanding is that this new class should simply be identical to 
Graphics except for the new  fillCircle method.

Any ideas why this doesnt work?

Miko
