Circle Class Posted: Mar 14, 2005 3:20 AM

Hi,

I am creating a class called Circle. An object of this class must hold the value of its radius and its position on screen, these values, which are all whole numbers, should be set only at a time a circle is created. A circle object must be capable of reporting its area and its circumference. It also has a paint method which draws the specified circle on a graphics screen, with the area and circumference printed below the circle.

I am using the fillOval method which works in the same way as the drawOval. I am running the class in a frame shown below:

import java.awt.*;
public class Circle5_2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Frame frame = new Frame();
Circle myCircle = new Circle(100,50,50);
frame.setSize(300.300);
frame.setBackground(Color.yellow);
frame.add(myCircle);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

I am having problems finishing off the circle class, I would greatly appreciate any help on this.
Everything I have so far is correct, I am just having problems doing the area, circumference and radius part as explained in the first paragraph.:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

class Circle extends Applet
{

private int a;
private int b;
private int c;

public Circle5_2(int position, int length, int height)
{
a = x;
b = y;
c = z;
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawString(,150, 40)
////// radius, area and circumference part???

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi,

Check this code:
public interface IDraw
{
	public void draw(Graphics g);
}
 
public class Circle implements IDraw
{
	private int x;
	private int y;
	private int radius;
	
	public Circle(int x, int y, int radius)
	{
		this.x = x;
		this.y = y;
		this.radius = radius;
	}
	
	public void draw(Graphics g)
	{
		int width = radius*2;
		g.fillOval(x, y, width, width);
		// draw your string here.
	}
}
 
 
public class Canvas extends JPanel
{
	private Vector circles;
	
	public Canvas()
	{
		circles = new Vector();
	}
	
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		super.paint(g);
		Iterator it = circles.iterator();
		while(it.hasNext())
		{
			IDraw d = (IDraw)it.next();
			d.draw(g);
		}
	}
	
	public void addCircle(Circle c)
	{
		circles.add(c);
	}
}
 
 
public void TestApp
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		JFrame f = new JFrame("test");
		Canvas canvas = new Canvas();
		Circle circle = new Circle(100,100,20);
		f.getContentPane().add(canvas);
		f.setSize(500,500);
		f.setVisible(true);
	}
}
 


You are extending Circle from an Applet, this will make your circle very heavy and if you want 100 circles then your application will die. Look at my code and if you don't get it then revert back.

I have not tested the code but logic will work.

Be careful.
You can't mix java.awt components with javax.swing components.

Your started out using java.awt with the Applet extension.

The other solution used Swing components, i.e. JPanel, which will work fine.
