Help with House/Fence Applet.

[GA Scooby]

Hey guys first post here. I have to design and implement a fence that draws a simple fence with vertical, equally spaced slats backed by two horizontal support boards. Behind my fence I had to develop a house in the background. Note: the house has to be visible behind the slats in the fence.


Here is what I have:

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

public class ProgrammingAssignment7 extends Applet
{
public void paint (Graphics g)
{

house (g);
roof1 (g);
windows (g);
framing (g);


}


public void house (Graphics g)
{
g.setColor (Color.black); //house
g.fillRect (100,250,400,200);
g.setColor(Color.blue); //doors
g.fillRect (245,380,110,70);
g.setColor (new Color(186,134,11)); //door knobs
g.fillOval (282,412,10,10);
g.fillOval (307,412,10,10);

}

public void roof1 (Graphics g)
{
g.setColor(Color.red); //house roof
int x[] = {98,300,501};
int y[] = {250,130,250};
g.fillPolygon(x,y,3);
}



public void windows (Graphics g)
{
g.setColor (Color.red); //outer frame effect
g.fillRect (121,261,78,78);
g.fillRect (121,361,78,78);
g.fillRect (401,261,78,78);
g.fillRect (401,361,78,78);
g.setColor (Color.orange); //windows
g.fillRect (125,265,70,70);
g.fillRect (125,365,70,70);
g.fillRect (405,265,70,70);
g.fillRect (405,365,70,70);


}

public void framing (Graphics g)
{
g.setColor (Color.red); //door sections
g.fillRect (298,380,2,70);
g.setColor (Color.red); //inner frame effect
g.fillRect (157,265,5,70);
g.fillRect (157,365,5,70);
g.fillRect (437,265,5,70);
g.fillRect (438,365,5,70);
g.fillRect (125,298,70,5);
g.fillRect (125,398,70,5);
g.fillRect (405,298,70,5);
g.fillRect (405,398,70,5);
g.fillRect (245,375,110,5); //door

}



}

thanks :D

And here's the hat trick!

[GA Scooby]

What?! Where is there a rabbit some where? :eek:

LOL

[GA Scooby]

Ahh I see now. I don't need the full program I just need some help with getting the slats set up evenly an able to see the house through the slats. This was my last resort that's why I signed up. I've never had a problem until this program.

Not sure what you're looking for here.
Since you've already drawn a door, wouldn't a fence be similar, simply with lots of thinner bits, plus two short and wide bits?

I am looking for help in how to get the fence posts set up in such a way that they are evenly spaced apart so that they look uniform and symmetric.

Every time I set it up it's never even or it's lying behind the house.

Professor recommended using a for loop.

Professor recommended using a for loop.

Then I would probably use a for loop.

[Tolls]

So where is the code for the fence that you've tried then?

[GA Scooby]

Right here:

int x = 5, y = 200, w = 25, l = 75, s= 10;


for (int count = 0; count < S; count++)//draws the vertical slats of the fence
{
if (count < S)
{
page.setColor (Color.yellow);
page.fillRect (x,y,w,l);
}

x += W + 10;

{
page.setColor (Color.yellow);//draws the two support beams of the fence
page.fillRect (0,y+5,350,10);
page.fillRect (0,y+60,350,10);

Can you use code tags, so it's easier to read?

Anyway, what happens when you use that code?
It looks to me at first glance that it should produce 10 upright blocks, 25 wide, 75 high, with a gap of 10 between them.

ETA: Also can you post your actual code, wince that above won't compile, even if put in a method.

I actually just went in and took your advice by doing them each post one at a time. It worked out pretty well I think. I should have just done that in the first place...:p

Here is the whole code that I did:

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

public class ProgrammingAssignment7 extends Applet

   public void paint (Graphics g)
   {
      
      house (g);
      roof1 (g);
      windows (g);
      framing (g);
      fencepost (g);
     
   }
  
 
   public void house (Graphics g)
   {
      g.setColor (Color.black);   //house 
      g.fillRect (100,250,400,200);
      g.setColor(Color.blue);   //doors   
      g.fillRect (245,380,110,70);
      g.setColor (new Color(186,134,11));   //door knobs
      g.fillOval (282,412,10,10);
      g.fillOval (307,412,10,10);
     
   }
  
   public void roof1 (Graphics g)
   {
      g.setColor(Color.red);   //house roof
      int x[] = {98,300,501};
      int y[] = {250,130,250};
      g.fillPolygon(x,y,3);
   }
  
  public void fencepost (Graphics g)
  {

  }
   public void windows (Graphics g)
   {
      g.setColor (Color.red);   //outer frame effect

   }
  
   public void framing (Graphics g)

I have edited your code and added code tags which should help make your posted code retain its formatting and be more readable.

To do this yourself, highlight your pasted code (please be sure that it is already formatted when you paste it into the forum; the code tags don't magically format unformatted code) and then press the code button, and your code will have tags.

Another way to do this is to manually place the tags into your code by placing the tag [cod&#101;] above your pasted code and the tag [/cod&#101;] below your pasted code like so:

[code]
  // your code goes here
  // notice how the top and bottom tags are different
[/code]

Best of luck

[GA Scooby]

Thanks Fubarable I appreciate the input :)

[j2me64]

for the vertical fence post you can also use a loop like

		for (int i=100; i < 525; i+=25) {
			g.fillRect(i, 400, 10, 50);
		}

I don't think that was my advice...but hey ho.
