I need to create a rectangle object and then paint it to the applet using paint(). I tried
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(arg,arg1,arg2,arg3);
Then tried to paint it to the applet using
g.draw(r);
It didn't work. Is there a way to do this in java? I have scoured google to within an inch of its life for an answer, but I haven't been able to find an answer. Please help!
Try this:
public void paint (Graphics g) {
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(xPos,yPos,width,height);
g.fillRect(r.getX(), r.getY(), r.getWidth(), r.getHeight());
}
[edit]
// With explicit casting
public void paint (Graphics g) {
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(xPos, yPos, width, height);
g.fillRect(
(int)r.getX(),
(int)r.getY(),
(int)r.getWidth(),
(int)r.getHeight()
);
}
You may try like this:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class Rect1 extends Applet {
public void paint (Graphics g) {
g.drawRect (x, y, width, height); //can use either of the two//
g.fillRect (x, y, width, height);
g.setColor(color);
}
}
where x is x co-ordinate
y is y cordinate
color=the color you want to use eg Color.blue
if you want to use rectangle object you could do it like this:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class Rect1 extends Applet {
public void paint (Graphics g) {
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(arg,arg1,arg2,arg3);
g.fillRect(r.getX(), r.getY(), r.getWidth(), r.getHeight());
g.setColor(color);
}
}
Note:drawRect
and fillRect
are different.
Draws the outline of the specified rectangle:
public void drawRect(int x,
int y,
int width,
int height)
Fills the specified rectangle. The rectangle is filled using the graphics context's current color:
public abstract void fillRect(int x,
int y,
int width,
int height)
