Selecting Shape

[lifes46]

Hi, I am currently working on select and moving shape, There are circle, rectangle and line. I am using same logic for rectangle and circle to select the shape using mouse point. I need help in how to select line shape. thanks.

if(XMLReader.name[i] ==  "circle"){  
   if((( mousePt.x < nodes.get(i).p.x + width))&&
      (mousePt.x>nodes.get(i).p.x) )
   {
        if((( mousePt.y < nodes.get(i).p.y + height))&& ( mousePt.y>nodes.get(i).p.y) ){
		selectedD =i;
		return true;								
	}							
   }
					}

You need to tell us specifically what help you need.


Also, don't compare Strings like this:

if(XMLReader.name[i] ==  "circle"){

Instead you'll want to use the equals or equalsIgnoreCase method:

if(XMLReader.name[i].equals("circle")){

The problem is the first code compares if one String object is the same as another, and you really don't care if this is true or not. Instead you are interested in knowing if both Strings hold the same characters in the same order which is what the equals/equalsIgnoreCase check.

Solved the problem. I actually wanted to wanted to detect and select shape "line" so I can move it around the panel.

//for loop
if(line.ptSegDistSq(mousePt)==0.0)
{
   selectedD =i;
   return true;								
}
