Creating the Overlay Class

Step 1 of 4

Objective

Create a new file to handle the drawing logic.

Explanation

In RuneLite, we usually keep drawing logic in a separate file to keep the code clean. 1. Create a new file in the same folder as your plugin called 'ExampleOverlay.java'. 2. This class must 'extend Overlay' and use 'PanelComponent' for that classic RuneLite look.
