Painting to the applet.

[Adeline Rose]

Respected Sir/Madam,
I'm reading a file line by line. I want the contents of the file
to be displayed line by line on the applet. So after reading a line from
file I call repaint to paint the string to the applet. But when I write a
new string it erases the previous, and finally only the last line is visible
on the applet.
How can this problem be solved?

With regards,


Adeline Rose

Hello Adeline:

Where are you painting the String? If the coordinates you pass are the same
each time you repaint, then the VM will first clear the screen and then paint
the new String. It sounds like you'll need to change the coordinates (well,
at least the y-coordinate) each time and override update() so that the applet
doesn't clear the screen each time something is painted.

HTH,

Tom Duffy
