[Tapper-develop] Grid Class is 50% done

[Greg B. <gbr...@ho...>]

Hi y'all:

I was able to get some time to work on the grid class today (The object that
displays the frets and strings).  I've got the frets and strings showing up but for
some reason I can't get the background to paint anything other than grey.  (I tried
setOpaque(true) and no difference).

Also the line widths are too thin.  I'll need to figure out how to get those set
thicker.

Lastly, I'll need to make the frets and fingerings appear.

It's coming along nicely.  I'm learning about Java2D programming at the same time
that I'm writing this so it's going a bit slower than I had hoped. Also, I'm going
to be swamped with work this weekend (I'm starting a new consulting gig AND I have
to finish a lot of work on the house before the appraiser comes on Monday AND we're
having guest over on Sunday.

I know we're all waiting for this class to be finished before we can move on so I'll
do what I can to complete it.  Thanks for being patient. :-)

P.S.  It just happens that I need to learn about Java and XML for work.  And we were
just talking about integrating XML as our property files.  Cool!
