    Point q = getClick();
    g.drawOval(q.x - 2, q.y - 2, 4, 4);
    g.drawLine(p.x, p.y, q.x, q.y);
    g.dispose();
  }
  public Point getClick() {
    EventQueue eq = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getSystemEventQueue();
    System.out.println(eq.isDispatchThread());
    while (true) {

        AWTEvent evt = eq.getNextEvent();
        if (evt.getID() == MouseEvent.MOUSE_PRESSED) {
          MouseEvent mevt = (MouseEvent) evt;
          Point p = mevt.getPoint();
          Point top = getRootPane().getLocation();
          p.x -= top.x;
