class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
String s = "java2s.com";
Font font = new Font("Georgia", Font.ITALIC, 50);
g.setFont(font);
int v = g.getFontMetrics(g.getFont()).getHeight() + 1;
int j = 0;
int k = s.length();
while (j < k + 1) {
if (j == k)
g.drawString(s.substring(j), 10, 10 + (j * v));
else
g.drawString(s.substring(j, j + 1), 10, 10 + (j * v));
j++;
}
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setBounds(30, 30, 450, 450);
window.getContentPane().add(new MyCanvas());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
