Hey guys, I started using processing to make an applet but then soon realized that my app would be better off as a basic java application (with all the security issues and headache). SO, I wana keep using processing but keep running into problems because I want my primary GUI to extend a JFrame instead of a PApplet. I tried creating PGraphics separately but nothing seems to be working right now.

Does anyone know how to get started on this? My first attempt looked something like this... (Please note I just typed this code out so you can see what I'm doing conceptually. It doesn't actually work.)

Code:

public ProcessingScreen extends JPanel
{
  PGraphics graphics = new PGraphics();

  protected void paint(Graphics g)
  {
    if (graphics.width!=getWidth() || graphics.height!=getHeight())
	graphics.setSize(getWidth(), getHeight());

    graphics.text("draw some text");
    g.drawImage(graphics.getImage(), 0,0);
  }
}
