Hi

I want to draw a rectangle at 20 pixels of the borders of a JPanel and I use
the getWidth() and getHeight() methods to get the lower right corner but the
rectangle gets drawn beyond the lower and right edges of the JPanel. I got a
class that extends JPanel and has following paintComponent method:

  public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
     Graphics g2 = (Graphics)g;
     super.paintComponent(g2);
     g2.drawRect(20, 20, getWidth()-20, getHeight()-20);
     }

What am I doing wrong?
