You seem to misunderstand what a Graphics is. It is NOT the
image that is drawn on the screen.

It merely contains things like background and foreground color,
clip rectangles, font, line style, line overlap style, etc., that will
be used by its other methods to render what the component's
paintComponent method uses do draw on the screen.

For example, if the component wants to draw four lines using
four deifferent colors, it will have to modify the Graphics to set
the correct color to use, then call g.drawLine(). This must be
repeated for each line. The lines themselves are NOT part of the
Graphics component. The same thing is true about all of the
text, images, etc. that may be drawn by the component.
