If you mean draw them directly into the UI Designer then you can't otherwise you do it exactly like normal
java.
1. create a frame class
2. create a class called drawingPanel or whatever you want to call it that extends JPanel (I made it an inner class to the frame class in example but don't have to)
3. override the paint method in the drawing panel
4. insert the panel into your frame.
Here is some full code that you can paste in and run, I've used Graphics2D to provide drawing capabilities, but you could use the original Graphics class, see the Sun Java Tutorial for more info.
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html // CODE START
<CODE>
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
public class DrawingTestFrame extends JFrame
{
JPanel drawPanel = new myDrawingPanel();
public DrawingTestFrame()
{
setSize(400, 400);
getContentPane().add(drawPanel);
setVisible(true);
}
private class myDrawingPanel extends JPanel
{
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setColor(Color.red);
g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(300,50,50,50));
g2.setColor(Color.yellow);
g2.fill(new Ellipse2D.Double(50,100,300,200));
}
}
public static void main(
String[] args)
{
DrawingTestFrame drawingTestFrame = new DrawingTestFrame();
}
}
</CODE>
// CODE END
