Overview :

This MSPaint is the upgraded version of the Microsoft Paint, and is developed in the Java programming language with the Swing framework (therefore, can be used on MacOS and Linux based operating system). This paint has many more features like — We can edit PNG images without losing the transparency of an image, We can work one Layers of image, and We can apply filters to the image.

MSPaint use Graphics2D to draw shapes, by @overriding the paintComponent The function of JComponent. Even the buttons are designed with paintComponent function by extending the JButton class in TButton Class.

public class TButton extends JButton {

    public TButton(String text) {
        super(text);
        setFocusable(false);
        setMargin(new Insets(3, 5, 3, 5));
        setContentAreaFilled(false);
    }

    @Override
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {

        // drawing customized button here with the help of g

        super.paintComponent(g);	//<--- for print button text
    }
}
