g is a variable name, so the method called "paint" is called from another
program
by passing another "Graphics" type

eg

Graphics myG = new Graphics();
paint(myG);

could be a possible way of calling this method the "g" within the method has
a drawString method as g is of type Graphics

eg

Graphics.drawString(jav.util.Stirng, int,int)

exists.
