Hi!

A beginner's question: When is the paint()-method EXACTLY called in
the following little example?

import java.awt.*;

public class GWindow extends Frame
{
  public void paint(Graphics g)
  {
    g.drawLine(0,0,50,50);
    g.fillOval(5,20,300,30);
    g.setColor(Color.green);
    g.drawString("Hello",100,40);
  }
}

public class ShowGWindow
{
  public static void main(String[] arg)
  {
    GWindow w = new GWindow();
    w.setSize(350,60);
    w.setTitle("GWindow");
    w.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Regards,
Jesper
