      Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
      Paints the specified component appropriately for the look and feel. This method is invoked from the `ComponentUI.update` method when the specified component is being painted. Subclasses should override this method and use the specified `Graphics` object to render the content of the component.
      Overrides:

      Parameters:
        `g` - the `Graphics` context in which to paint
        `c` - the component being painted; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
