Color Example
Create the following java program using any editor of your choice in say D:/ > AWT > com >
tutorialspoint > gui >

AWTGraphicsDemo.java
package com.tutorialspoint.gui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

public class AWTGraphicsDemo extends Frame {

public AWTGraphicsDemo(){
super("Java AWT Examples");
prepareGUI();
}

public static void main(String[] args){

AWTGraphicsDemo awtGraphicsDemo = new AWTGraphicsDemo();
awtGraphicsDemo.setVisible(true);
}

private void prepareGUI(){

setSize(400,400);
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
System.exit(0);
}
});
}

@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
Font plainFont = new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 24);
 g2.setFont(plainFont);
g2.setColor(Color.red);
g2.drawString("Welcome to TutorialsPoint", 50, 70);
g2.setColor(Color.GRAY);
g2.drawString("Welcome to TutorialsPoint", 50, 120);
}
}

Compile the program using command prompt. Go to D:/ > AWT and type the following command.

D:\AWT>javac com\tutorialspoint\gui\AWTGraphicsDemo.java

If no error comes that means compilation is successful. Run the program using following
command.

D:\AWT>java com.tutorialspoint.gui.AWTGraphicsDemo
