how to make an graphic componant java code example

Example 1: Write a simple java swing application that will display rectangle graphics as shown in the picture below:

import javax.swing.JApplet;

/**
 * A RandomStringsApplet displays 25 copies of a string, using random colors,
 * fonts, and positions for the copies.  The message can be specified as the
 * value of an applet param with name "message."  If no param with name
 * "message" is present, then the default message "Java!" is displayed.
 * The actual content of the applet is an object of type RandomStringsPanel.
 */
public class RandomStringsApplet extends JApplet {
   
   public void init() {
      String message = getParameter("message");
      RandomStringsPanel content = new RandomStringsPanel(message);
      setContentPane(content);
   }

}

Example 2: Write a simple java swing application that will display rectangle graphics as shown in the picture below:

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

/**
 * This panel displays 25 copies of a message.  The color and 
 * position of each message is selected at random.  The font
 * of each message is randomly chosen from among five possible
 * fonts.  The messages are displayed on a black background.
 * <p>Note:  The style of drawing used here is bad, because every
 * time the paintComponent() method is called, new random values are
 * used.  This means that a different picture will be drawn each
 * time.  This is particularly bad if only part of the panel
 * needs to be redrawn, since then the panel will contain
 * cut-off pieces of messages.
 * <p>This panel is meant to be used as the content pane in
 * either an applet or a frame.
 */

   private String message;  // The message to be displayed.  This can be set in
                            // the constructor.  If no value is provided in the 
                            // constructor, then the string "Java!" is used.
   
   private Font font1, font2, font3, font4, font5;  // The five fonts.
   
   /**
    * Default constructor creates a panel that displays the message "Java!".
    *

      this(null);  // Call the other constructor, with parameter null.
