Hi,
 
Before everyone says "thats not graphics thats Swing" let me explain...
 
I have a JFrame onto which I'm painting a few GeneralPath objects, in fact I could have 40,000 of them (no joke) and I want to display them in the cells of a JTable. Of course when I assign them to the table model (behind the JTable) all I end up with is the string value of the JFrame object displayed in the table. I have now reached the point of being lost - Is this is a matter of getting the ColumnRenderer right? if so, how? - Is there more to it?
 
Just for the sake of context I'm trying to build an alignment editor for hieroglyphic texts (not a word processor) here each column is a variant of the same text, each cell is a slot for a word. Each JFrame represents a full word (each glyph is a GeneralPath object). The aim is for users to be able to "pull" the words of the different variants into alignment (taking into account such things as missing or extra words which will make for slight differences between the texts) but first I need to be able to display the words in the JTable.
 
All suggestions gratefully received - all examples of something similar devoured raw!
