Gird drawing on JPanel.

[HighlandJinx]

Hi guy's i'm at a bit of a loss here, I have to draw a grid onto a JPanel preferably using the Graphics2D class. I tried just line drawing a grid but i have to be able to access each square in the grid and "Colour" them black as needs.

I looked up the API couldn't find a grid class, i even tried laying down JPanels onto the main panel in a gridlayout but kinda threw a wobbly at me after 40 panels. I'm using Sun ONE Forte Community Edition software to.

Thanks for any help.

I think you're on the right track using the GridLayout. I have a layout with 11 rows of 6 columns (66 panels) with no problem.

Why don't you post your wobbly and maybe we can help with that.
