PaintEvent

Name

PaintEvent (New)

[Graphic: Figure from the text]

Description

The PaintEvent class represents the paint and update operations that the AWT performs on components. There is no PaintListener interface, so the only way to catch these events is to override paint(Graphics) and update(Graphics) in Component. This class exists so that paint events will get serialized properly.
