This is my proj code...........so my requirement is that when a user presses the button (i.e strat graph) a line shud been plot on the interface.outside pan class am not able to acess g,,,so as to how can i accomplish this........plz reply....help

You need to have references to your "pan" class in the global field scope.

From there, after your JFrame is instantiated, make a call to the "pan" classes repaint method in your actionListener.

From there your button should call paint. All you need to do from there is make the pan class paint a line on the screen when this happens.

Hopefully this information is helpful to you.

no sir i could not get u ,,,,,,,,,,can u modify my code n post it

no sir i could not get u ,,,,,,,,,,can u modify my code n post it

I'll make the modification if you first place your code in code tags.

tried but geting nuu pointer exception

ya,,,,,i"ll write code tags....next when i post the code...now its very urgent,,,,need show this code 2day plz,,modify

no sir i could not get u ,,,,,,,,,,can u modify my code n post it

Excellent way to get everyone mad at you and not get any more help. This sentence suggests that you expect others to put in more effort than you are willing to to solve YOUR assignment. You don't explain what you didn't understand about Alex's post and you write a single poorly written sentence asking for someone else to do all the work.

ya,,,,,i"ll write code tags....next when i post the code...now its very urgent,,,,need show this code 2day plz,,modify

Well, if it's urgent, format it, post it using code tags, and write in real sentences.

o plz...am srtuggling here.........
to modify my code....no if u help i can understand my problem....anyways am not asking othersput efforts,,,,,,coz from 3days am struggling with this prob and seriously want to know where am wrong...am trying to code according to suugestion given by alex,,,but ending up with null ponter exception

o plz...am srtuggling here.........

I'll repeat. Don't use plz, u, coz, etc. It's frowned upon here. Post your code in code tags:

[code=JAVA] // paste code

[/code]

Make sure the code is formatted, point out the line number of this null pointer exception and the circumstances where it occurs.

At the line where you get the NullPointerException you are probably trying to use an object that is null and instantiated. See what the message says and you will find which object is that. Then instantiated correctly based on what is the object

And no one is going to read you entire code, to find one single mistake, when you can simply post the line and the message you get from the console.

error when button is clicked

First of all we cannot count 111 lines. Post the part of the code that is around line 111, stating which one is line 111.

Also there is a symbol: '#' above this posting form. Press it. Then in the first tag add this:
=JAVA, no empty spaces.
Then post your code between these tags

And where do you get the error, because at line 111 I see only:

public static void main(String[]args)

And besides if you look at the code:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
 if((JButton)e.getSource() == j)
 {
 /*jc1 = new JColorChooser();
 JColorChooser.showDialog(jp4,"Select The Color", Color.red);
 c2=jc1.getColor();*/
 p1.repaint();
 }
}

You have most of it comment it out, meaning that nothing will happen when you click the button.
By the way, the repaint() method, which I believe belongs to the class:
f p1 = new f();
You didn't post code for that class, and it is the only thing you call inside the actionPerformed method

As Java Addict mentioned, we can't run it without the f class. You took his "No empty spaces" too literally. Don't put that in the brackets. What he meant was that you did something like this before:

[ code = JAVA ] // paste code here

[/code]

rather than this:

[code=JAVA] // paste code here

[/code]

There are no spaces in the second group of code tags and that's the way you want it. Hit the "Preview" button before you post. If you don't get code tags with color highlighting, check back with the first code tag to make sure it's right and make sure you remembered to put the ending code tag too.
