The procedure for drawing an image on a java.awt.Panel or on a Canvas is much the same as shown below. It is not recommended to mix AWT and Swing so you use a java.awt.Applet vis–a–vis JApplet and the Panel/Canvas paint method with signature

In AWT drawing you may find value in overriding the update method; sometimes like this to avoid flickering

but this will vary according to what you are doing and want to achieve. Swing painting tends to be easier than painting in the AWT. The override of the getPreferredSize method is for the JScrollPane. You can use the setPreferredSize instead if you like. setPreferredSize is part of the Component api (okay for use in AWT) as of j2se 1.5

You need to get the container's graphics context and then load the image or any graphics element onto the particular container.

Example here:

You have to getgraphics() for which ever panel you are want to draw into.

Say for eg.
You are adding imagepanel to the applet which I suppose u would have done this way.


When u draw an image using pgraphics the (0,0) position is wherever the imagepanel starts. And similarly for cgraphics. Hope its clear to u now.
