Resizing Coordinates In Applets

[lolmasterzz]

Hey guys,

I was wondering how to resize coordinates in a simple java applet. I'm not trying to resize the window. Instead, I'm trying to make the window such that if you resize the coordinates it shows coordinates that weren't visible before.

Thanks!

so basically I am doing a nearest neighbor heuristic for the travelling salesman problem. however, my applet window only has a certain range for the coordinates and i want my salesman to visit a coordinate that doesn't show up on my window. Is there a way to resize the coordinates such that this point shows up?

Thanks

Welcome lolmasterzz, to Java Forums.

I assume that you draw your coordinates on a graphics object. Add an offset to the points before you draw them. You can use this offset to scroll across the "pane" where you draw your points. So, if the salesman moves to a point off the screen, set the offset such that the salesman is drawn onscreen. Or, you can draw on a large panel that covers all the points. Add this panel to a JScrollPane. When the salesman moves out of view, you can set the view point if the JScrollPane so that the salesman is visible again.

Hope that helps, lolmasterzz. If you like, I could give you an example.
