Java Graphics

Hi I am trying to get the Java Graphics to work but the paint function is messing up the GUI.
following is my code:

I apologize if the code is not very pretty.Also I can send the images for the labels if anyone wants it.
I have commented out the paint function.but I need it to draw the circle ,oval etc.
Any alternatives or suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Yes, read the Sun graphics tutorials. They will show you how to do painting in Swing. For one, don't paint on a JFrame and in its paint method but rather on a JPanel in its paintComponent method.

Made some changes.The following was added in the actionperformed method.I set the background color to the JPanel so the GUI not messing up any more.But the draw still not drawing things.I think I am missing something small.

Code:

---

if(clickedButton== ovalBtn){
                               
                                DrawBoard circle= new DrawBoard(200,100);
                               
                                oval=1;
                                rect=0;
                                System.out.println("here");
                               
                                clickedButton=null;
                        }

---

My DrawBoard class:

Code:

---

class DrawBoard extends JPanel{
        private int xPosition;
        private int yPosition;
        private int width;
        private int height;
        public DrawBoard (int x, int y){
                xPosition = x;
                yPosition = y;
                width = 92;
                height = 92;

        }
       
              public void  draw (Graphics2D g2){
               
                Ellipse2D.Double ring = new Ellipse2D.Double (xPosition, yPosition, width, height);
                g2.draw(ring);

               
               
        }
}

Try to change

Code:

---

if(clickedButton== ovalBtn)

---

to

Code:

---

if(clickedButton.equals("ovalBtn"))

Per his first posted code, clickedButton is a JButton, not a String, so I'm not sure if this is going to help.

I still don't see where the OP is using a JComponent's (such as a JPanel's) paintComponent method anywhere.

Hi
I dont think thats the problem.The if statement has a System.out which does print when I click the Oval btn.For some reason the draw function is not getting accessed.i dont know how to draw.

So about the JComponents PaintComponent where is it to be added in the DrawShapes?
Thanks

Have you reviewed the Sun Swing and graphics tutorials on this subject? That will help you get up and running past this (and other) problems fastest.

I better be quiet. :o

Yes I have been going through the tutorials but they confused me.
So my basic question is I have my main in one class file and other class file has paintcomponent method etc.I want to call that class:

Code:

---

if(clickedButton== ovalBtn){
                               
                                //DrawBoard circle= new DrawBoard(200,100);
                                circle= new Circle (3,red,30,50);
                                oval=1;
                                rect=0;
                                System.out.println("here");
                               
                                clickedButton=null;
                        }

---

Just by typing circle = new Circle( x,color,30,50) if circle is instance of Circle class.The Circle.java code is what I am trying to use.Gives me errors like Circle class not found even if the files are in the same folder.

Code:

---

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Circle extends JPanel
{
  private int diameter, x, y;
  private Color color;

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Constructor: Sets up this circle with the specified values.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public Circle (int size, Color shade, int upperX, int upperY)
  {
      diameter = size;
      color = shade;
      x = upperX;
      y = upperY;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Draws this circle in the specified graphics context.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public void draw (Graphics page)
  {
      page.setColor (color);
      page.fillOval (x, y, diameter, diameter);
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Diameter mutator.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public void setDiameter (int size)
  {
      diameter = size;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Color mutator.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public void setColor (Color shade)
  {
      color = shade;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  X mutator.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public void setX (int upperX)
  {
      x = upperX;
  }


  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Y mutator.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public void setY (int upperY)
  {
      y = upperY;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Diameter accessor.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public int getDiameter ()
  {
      return diameter;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Color accessor.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public Color getColor ()
  {
      return color;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  X accessor.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public int getX ()
  {
      return x;
  }

  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  //  Y accessor.
  //-----------------------------------------------------------------
  public int getY ()
  {
      return y;
  }
}

If I do circle. whatever method I should be able to draw correct? like circle.draw()?
I am having some issues with basics
