PaintComponents() is never called

Question

This is supposed to be an abstract class that can be extended to draw lines connecting certain coordinate points on a JPanel.

However, the specialized PaintComponents() method is never called. I have seen other answers and attempted to use their solutions, such as checking if I added the JPanel or if I have an layout. However, the PaintComponent() is still never called, and nothing appears on the screen.

public abstract class XYGrapher
{
private ArrayList<Coordinate> coordinates;
int xStart;
int yStart;
int width;
int height;

public class GraphPanel extends JPanel
{
    @Override
    public void paintComponents(Graphics g)
    {
        super.paintComponents(g);
        g.setColor(Color.green);
        g.drawLine(xStart, yStart + height / 2, xStart + width, yStart + height / 2);
        g.drawLine(xStart + width / 2, yStart, xStart + width / 2, yStart + height);

        g.setColor(Color.black);
        for(int i = 0; i < coordinates.size() - 1; i++)
        {
            Coordinate prev = coordinates.get(i);
            Coordinate next = coordinates.get(i + 1);

            if(prev.drawFrom() && next.drawTo())
            {
                g.drawLine((int) prev.getX(), (int) prev.getY(), (int) next.getX(), (int) next.getY());
            }
        }

    coordinates = mapped;

    JPanel graph = new GraphPanel();
    graph.setLayout(new GridLayout(0, 1));

    frame.setContentPane(graph);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);

Answer 1

I think that the "paintComponenents()" method should be "paintComponent()."
