        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

i just gode this code from the web, with a little bit of modification, i need to implement a digital clock for another project.. i just cant figure out why does the next painting overlaps the current one.. any help please.

by the way.. my goal is.. to create a separate class as a Clock, but extends as a JPanel not a JFrame, i just want to add/call it to any JFrame window i have or in any JPanel/Container
