graphics context Example
This applet uses 2D graphics to draw rectangles.First the Graphics parameter passed to paint() is cast to Graphics2D.
This graphics context gives a wider range of rendering capabilities than Graphics.
The setPaint() method is used with g2. It is more general than setColor() and can also handle gradient paint.

class GraphicsContextExample3 extends JApplet {
@Override public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
g2.setPaint(Color.magenta);
g2.drawRect(50, 50, 50, 50);
g2.setStroke(new BasicStroke(10));
g2.drawRect(150, 150, 50, 50);
g2.setPaint(Color.cyan);
g2.fillRect(155, 155, 40, 40);
