Help!  I have been stuck on this problem for hours.

How do I get the Rectangle of the original repaint() call
in a components paintComponent(Graphics graphics) method?

For example.  Say a repaint(0, 0, 10, 10) is called somewhere
in the code.

Say my JComponent has a bounds of Rectangle(9, 9, 5, 5)

In the components paintComponent(Graphics graphics) method
I can call:
graphics.getClipBounds() and that will return (0, 0, 1, 1)
Basically it returns the intersection of the original repaint rectangle (0,
0, 10, 10)
and my bounds (9, 9, 5, 5) relative to my components coordinates, which
gives 0, 0, 1 1.

But I want a way to get the 0,0,10,10 rectangle from the paintComponent
method.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Bill
