Java Graphics method

Hi

I’m making a tag cloud in Java by using the paint method to style my different size words.

My code:

Integer[] lengths = {1,7,3,12,1};
String[] words = {"horror","thriller","comedy","drama","action"};

public void paint(Graphics g)
    {
        Graphics2D g2;
        g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);

        int w = getSize().width;
        int h = getSize().height;

        AffineTransform at = new AffineTransform();
        at.setToTranslation(30, 50);

        AffineTransform fontAT = new AffineTransform();
        fontAT.shear(0.2, 0.0);

        FontRenderContext frc = g2.getFontRenderContext();
        String s = new String("Still Life with Text");
        TextLayout tstring = new TextLayout(s, big, frc);

        Font theDerivedFont = big.deriveFont(fontAT);
        String str = new String("Still Life with Slanted Text");
        TextLayout tstring2 = new TextLayout(str, theDerivedFont, frc);

        for(int i = 0; i < lengths.length; i++)
        {
            int totalInt = lengths*;
            if(totalInt <= 2)
            {
                g2.setFont(small);
                g2.setColor(Color.lightGray);
                g2.drawString(words*, 35, 35);
            }
            else if(totalInt > 2 && totalInt < 7)
            {
                g2.setFont(medium);
                g2.setColor(Color.gray);
                g2.drawString(words*, 55, 55);
            }
            else
            {
                g2.setFont(big);
                g2.setColor(Color.darkGray);
                g2.drawString(words*, 75, 75);
            }
        }
    }

When the words are displayed, all the “small” words are placed over each other, and the same with the “medium” and “big” words. I also don’t want to define where the words must be displayed i.e. g2.drawString(words*, 75, 75); the x and y coordinates. The words must just be written next to each other in the same way they are read in.

I want the output to be:
[SIZE=1]horror[/SIZE], [SIZE=4]thriller[/SIZE], [SIZE=3]comedy[/SIZE], [SIZE=4]drama[/SIZE], [SIZE=1]action[/SIZE]

How can I modify my method to accommodate this?

Thanks
