could have 40,000 of them (no joke) and I want to display them in the cells

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?

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.

Dear Spencer,
You might look at the following adress:
http://www.codeguru.com/java/Swing/JTable/index.shtml
There is an example that shows how to use any JComponent in a JTable...
I don�t know if it works for JFrame because JComponent is not in the
hierachy of it.
Another way might be:
Develop your own JPanel which paints itself in the same way a JFrame does.
(override the paintComponent method).
JTable works fine with a selfwritten Renderer that displays Panels.
best regards
Ron
