JFrame by default is BorderLayout. You want to add the painting JPanel to BorderLayout.CENTER.
JPanels default is FlowLayout so add all your components for user interaction to a JPanel and add that panel to the frames BorderLayout.SOUTH.
That should give you what you want. The Oracle tutes site has a visual guide to Layout Managers. Here's a link A Visual Guide to Layout Managers
