Do you mean to do so using a Graphics2D canvas on the Component? That 
will obviously take some time to make sure all the lines match up 
correctly. I'd like to have any text on the days be clickable so that a 
JList also in the window can display the details of the item that is 
clicked. That response is doable (although very difficult I think) with 
text on a Graphics canvas however showing that the text was actually 
clicked would not occur to provide the user feedback similar to how a 
hyperlink being clicked provides user feedback. thanks Knute
