[java] Drawing Inside Anything, I'm Stumped
Author
I want to put the "hello" inside the (named) scrollpane [scrollPix]. Every drawing example I sem to be able to find draws directly on the window client surface, and not inside any component.
This is probably easy to do, but I can''t find any actual code examples and everything I''ve guessed doesn''t work. I can add components, but can''t access any of them. -I want to name the scrollpane, so I can have more than one, and choose which to draw into--so I don''t really want some method that defaults to "the only scrollpane in the window".

Create a class that extends JPanel and overrides its paint method, then place an instance of that class inside your JScrollPane.

You're so close already 
. Every component defines a paint() function, you're just overridding the one in Frame. To draw in a specific component, simply subclass that component and override its paint() function.
This might not get the expected results in a ScrollPane however. You'll probably want to subclass another component to paint in and then add that component to your ScrollPane.
EDIT: HenryApe beat me to it.

Still nuts:
I added a separate file/class named drawpanel extending Panel, and added an instance of drawpanel (named myPanel) inside scrollPix.
Anything I put in the button1 init() works (like setting myPanel''s background to white) but after that, I can''t draw anything on it. I can''t figure out how to get the graphics object of it, and nothing called on it works, or usually even compiles. Where should the code to do this go? What should it look like?

There are 2 ways to draw to any component in your program. One way is to subclass the component and override the paint() method.
Your second option is to get a graphics context for the component
The first way is the better way.
Make it work.
Make it fast.
