Color Brown and Polygon help

[Keno777]

I am not sure how to make the color Brown in Java, and could also use a little help setting up a polygon as well. I need to put a polygon on top of a house as a roof but am missing something. Not sure if its the explicit parameters I am missing or what. Any help would be great. Thanks!

You can make almost any color you want by creating a new Color(int, int, int). Look at the Color API for details, and also look at color chooser dialog to help you choose the right combination.

With regard to your polygon, the question is a bit vague and thus may be difficult for us to help you on.

Find the RGB values of a color: http//bguide.blogspot.com/2008/02/howto-find-rgb-values-of-color.html

simple program that draws 1 polygon. I think it's pretty clear what it does.
You can either use a JPanel or a Canvas to draw on. I did it with a JPanel. If you want to use Canvas change "paintComponent" into "paint" and it will work.
For more specific code with your roof on a house, your code would be very helpfull.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Polygon extends JPanel {

    public Polygon(){
       createGUI();
    }


    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
    {
        int[] x = {10,500,250,50,90};
        int[] y = {500,250,300,140,570};

        g.drawPolygon(x,y,5);

    }

    public void createGUI(){
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("how to draw a polygon");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().add(this);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize(800,600);
        frame.setVisible(true);

        
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Polygon poly = new Polygon();
    }

}
