> Hi Xin,
>
> If you want to extend ImageWindow or ImageCanvas you need to stay in AWT.
> Try replacing JTextPane by java.awt.TextArea.
>
> You can't mix heavyweight components (such as AWT) with lightweight
> components (such as Swing). As ImageJ is written in AWT, inside Frames such
> as ImageWindow/ImageCanvas only AWT components get correctly drawn. You can
> put Swing components into a separate JFrame though, and several plugins do
> so to profit from the larger component library offered by javax.swing.*.
