I am trying to get the graphic and font of a column header in a JTable. To do this I am using the code
Graphics g = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).getGraphics();
Font f = myTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(i).getFont();
However that produces a can't find symbol error
The full code for this program is
