Thread: Points in a JPanel

So i am making a GUI that lets you add in vertices onto a JPanel and so far I have:

import javax.swing.*;
 
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
 
public class Main {
 
	static ArrayList<Vertices> Vertices = new ArrayList<Vertices>();
 
	static JPanel panel = new JPanel();
	static JPanel spacing = new JPanel();
	static JButton AddVert = new JButton("Add Vertex");
	static JButton AddEdge = new JButton("Add Edge");
	static JButton RemVert = new JButton("Remove Vertex");
	static JButton RemEdge = new JButton("Remove Edge");
	static JPanel Output = new JPanel();
	static JScrollPane Output2 = new JScrollPane();
	static JFrame Frame = new JFrame();
 
	private static Point points[];
 
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		JFrame Window = new JFrame("Graph");
		//JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
 
		Output.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(950,600));
		Output2.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200,600));
 
		Window.setLayout(new BorderLayout(50, 10));
		//Window.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("H:\\Graph\\img.png").getImage());
 
	    Container pane = Window.getContentPane();
		panel.add(AddVert);
		panel.add(AddEdge);
		panel.add(RemVert);
		panel.add(RemEdge);
		pane.add(spacing, BorderLayout.NORTH);
		pane.add(spacing, BorderLayout.EAST);
		pane.add(panel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
	    pane.add(Output2, BorderLayout.WEST);
	    pane.add(Output, BorderLayout.CENTER);
	    Output.add(new Vertices());
 
	    Window.pack();
		Window.setVisible(true);
	}
}

I also have a class Vertices

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Insets;
 
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import java.util.Random;
 
 
public class Vertices extends JPanel {
 
		public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
		      super.paintComponent(g);
 
		      Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
 
		      g2d.setColor(Color.blue);
 
		      Dimension size = getSize();
		      Insets insets = getInsets();
		      int w =  size.width - insets.left - insets.right;
      		      int h =  size.height - insets.top - insets.bottom;
 
		      Random r = new Random();
 
		      for (int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
		          int x = Math.abs(r.nextInt()) % w;
		          int y = Math.abs(r.nextInt()) % h;
		          g2d.drawLine(x, y, x, y);
		      }
		}
	}

I couldn't get it to work on its own so I am trying to make it randomly generate points around the JPanel but its doesn't seem to get it to work

The GUI and the JPanel work alright

the points are the problem. The area they are drawn into is really small and when I try to change the size of the area it doesn't work at all

So I want the points to spread out all over the JPanel

So at this point:

for (int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
		          int x = r.nextInt() % w;
		          int y = r.nextInt() % h;
		          g2d.drawLine(x, y, x, y);
		      }

What should I change for the size because I can't work out what size I would need to make it into a larger area

Yeah I put in some print statements and I tried just changing the numbers of h and w but it stays the same size but with less points

Well h and w are 10 and x and y range between like 1-10

If I try to put a higher value for x and y nothing will come up.

I got rid of the inset but whenever I make y or x larger there is nothing in the JPanel
