Hello all,

I'm trying to use the Graphics2D api to draw some simple shapes on a
class that I extended from JPanel. I'm want to set the background in my
object, but I have been unable to get it to work.  I've tried using
super.setBackground(Color.white) from within my class.

I have overloaded the paintComponent() method in my class and I don't
know if that has anything to do with it.  I know that when I comment out
the paintComponent() method it paints the background correctly.
However, it's my understanding that I have to overload the
paintComponent() method to draw my shapes with the Graphics2D api.

Can anyone help me with this?

Trey
