Set background color in java Graphics object -

good day,

know in java graphics object, can user setcolor() method set object color. apply object border. anyway set color whole object? means background of graphics object.

void draw(graphics g)     {         g.setcolor(color);         g.drawrect(left, right, width, height);      } 

kindly advise.

use fillrect() method .

" this apply object border " because drawrect draw outlines only. " is anyway set color whole object? " misunderstand . , setcolor() set color draw if draw outline can see outline , it's not because of setcolor() set colors border .
