Create a class that extends Panel and implements the paint method.  The 
paint method gets called when the Panel need to redraw.  Inside the paint 
method, use the Graphics object provided to you to do drawing and so 
forth.

Here is an example of an applet that draws using the paint method along 
with its HTML file:

// Sample.java
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Sample extends Applet
{
  public void paint (Graphics g)
  {
    Dimension	dim = getSize ();
    int width = dim.width;
    int height = dim.height;

    g.fillOval(0, 0, width, height);
  }
}
