## java.awt.event
Class PaintEvent

    java.lang.Object
      java.util.EventObject
          java.awt.AWTEvent
              java.awt.event.ComponentEvent
                  java.awt.event.PaintEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable

public class PaintEvent
extends ComponentEvent

The component-level paint event. This event is a special type which is used to ensure that paint/update method calls are serialized along with the other events delivered from the event queue. This event is not designed to be used with the Event Listener model; programs should continue to override paint/update methods in order render themselves properly.

Since:
  1.1
See Also:
  Serialized Form

Field Summary
`static int` | `PAINT` The paint event type.
`static int` | `PAINT_FIRST` Marks the first integer id for the range of paint event ids.
`static int` | `PAINT_LAST` Marks the last integer id for the range of paint event ids.
`static int` | `UPDATE` The update event type.

Constructor Detail

### PaintEvent

    public PaintEvent(Component source,
                      int id,
                      Rectangle updateRect)

  Constructs a `PaintEvent` object with the specified source component and type.

  Note that passing in an invalid `id` results in unspecified behavior.

Parameters:
