Initializing a component in an application.

I am trying to draw graphics in a frame.  I tried using:
Component drawInto = new Canvas();
Graphics g = drawInto.getGraphics();
g.drawline(X1,Y1,X2,Y2);
There is more code obviously, but since this is an application and not an applet, I don't know how to initialize the component.  The frame comes up, but I don't get a Canvas or a line. If I try paint(Graphics g), the program compiles correctly, but I get a nullpointer error when I try to execute the program.  Any answers?
