Problems with repaint()
Hello,
My program receives notifications from a notification server and then represents these notifications in the form of a barchart every 5 seconds. I use AWT for the graphics. However, my repaint() method does not work. IThe method that receives the notifications, counts the number of notifications it receives every 5 seconds and then calls the repaint() method to update the barchart.
I would really appreciate any replies,
Thank you,
Santhoshi

As Manuel stated, move your code from repaint() to paint(). You shouldn't be implementing the repaint() method, but it is fine to call it. When you receive notifications you should just make a call to repaint(), that will queue a call to the paint() method.
Thanks a lot for your reply!But, I tried that already, but it still doesn't work. The problem is that, though it call the paint() method everytime there's a call to reapint(), the new values of the coordinates are not registered. So, it doesn't update my barchart.

That is probably the problem then. How are you making the changes to the coordinates? The coordinates should be instance variables. On receiving the notification events, you should increase/change the coordinate variables, which should be updated by the time repaint() is called.
