 import java.awt.Color;

 import java.awt.Dimension;
 import java.awt.Graphics;


 import javax.swing.JPanel;

 public class LinesRectsOvalsJPanel extends JPanel {


public LinesRectsOvalsJPanel() {


setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(10, 23));

JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
rightPanel.setOpaque(true);

add(rightPanel, BorderLayout.EAST);
   }

  public void paintComponent( Graphics g ) {

   super.paintComponent( g ); 

     this.setBackground( Color.WHITE );
     //   x y width height
     g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
     g.drawLine(5,10,5,30);
     g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
     g.drawLine(18,70,127,24);
     g.setColor(Color.RED);
     g.drawLine(25,45,100,38);

     g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
     g.drawOval(23,25,23,55);
     g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
     g.drawOval(15,14,40,78);
     g.setColor(Color.CYAN);
     g.drawOval(180,102,5,90);

Answer 1

Try something like this:

This is the main class (frame):

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Frame extends JFrame{

    Panel p = new Panel();

    public Frame(){
        p.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(640,480));
        add(p);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                Frame f = new Frame();
                f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                f.pack();
                f.setVisible(true);
            }   
        });
    }
}

Your panel class:

import javax.swing.*;

public class Panel extends JPanel{
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        g.fillRect(20, 20, 50, 50);
    }
}

You have not added your LinesRectsOvalsJPanel component:

frame.add(new LinesRectsOvalsJPanel());
