title: I made a function that uses graphics and I wanted to call it in the main it did not work
body: <p>The main:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class AppMain {
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  
      App a1 = new App();
  
      JFrame f2 = new JFrame(); 
  
      f2.getContentPane().add(a1);
  
      f2.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
          public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
              a1.stop();
              a1.destroy();
              System.exit(0);
          }
      });
  
      f2.setVisible(true);
  
      f2.setSize(200, 200);
  
      a1.setBackground(Color.white);
  
      //the function
      //a1.drawBow(null, 40, 40, Color.BLACK);
      a1.drawBow(a1.getGraphics(), 40, 40, Color.BLACK);
  
  
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The App class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class App extends Applet{
  
  
  int x1,y1,x2,y2;
  
  public void paint(Graphics g1) {
  
  
          g1.setPaintMode();
  
          g1.setColor(Color.BLUE);
  
          g1.drawString("Hello!", 50, 50);
  
          g1.setColor(Color.red);
  
          g1.drawString("Hello!", 51, 51);
  
          g1.setColor(Color.RED);
  
          g1.draw3DRect(80, 70, 20, 20, true);
  
          g1.setColor(Color.black);
  
          g1.fill3DRect(81, 71, 19, 19, true);
  
          g1.setColor(Color.blue);
  
          g1.fill3DRect(82, 72, 17, 17, true);
  
  
  }
  
  public void init() {
  
      setSize(200, 200);
  
      setVisible(true);
  
      repaint();
  
  
  }
  
  //the function
  public void drawBow(Graphics g1,int x , int y,Color c){
  
      g1.setColor(c);
      x1=x;
      y1=y;
      x2=x1+10;
      y2=y1+10;
      g1.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,x2);
      x1=x2+10;
      y1=y2+35;
      g1.drawLine(x2,y2,x1,y1);
      x2=x1-10;
      y2=y1+35;
      g1.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
      x1=x2-10;
      y1=y2+10;
      g1.drawLine(x2,y2,x1,y1);
      x2=x1;
      y2=y1-90;
      g1.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I move the function to paint that will work, but it can not receive a color x and y, and I can not call a function how many times I want in main.
  I tried a lot of ways and I could not, please help.</p>
