Little help with Drawing canvas needed

[Gfunk]

Hello :)

I am a newbie to java, and i am trying to get the user to input a value between one and 500, and have it graphed onto the drawing canvas. Im a bit stuck here and i have got the basics of it drawn onto it, but its not drawing the bars properly where i want them too. can you please have a look at my code and tell me what i am doing wrong.

thankyou

  public void plotPrices() {
    // Set up the window for drawing
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Core: Plot of numbers");
    frame.setSize(700, 600);    // 700 pixels wide, 600 pixels high.
    DrawingCanvas canvas = new DrawingCanvas();
    frame.getContentPane().add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.setVisible(true);
    canvas.drawLine(50,500,600,500);
    canvas.drawLine(50,500,50,200);
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.println("Enter numbers between 1 & 500, end with 'close'");
    double number = 0;
    double total = 0;
    double min = Double.MAX_VALUE;
    double max = Double.MIN_VALUE;
    while(scan.hasNext()) {
    int baseX = 500;
    int baseY = 30;
    String stringValue = scan.next();
             double nextValue = 0;
             try {
                     nextValue = Double.parseDouble(stringValue);
                 }
                     catch(NumberFormatException nFE) {
                     if(stringValue.equals("close")) { 
                        break;
                     }
                     else {
                        System.out.println("Please enter a Number, or 'Close'"); 
                        continue;
                     }
                }
             
             total = total + nextValue;
             if(nextValue < min)
                min = nextValue;
             if(nextValue > max)
                max = nextValue;
             number++;
             
             
             canvas.drawRect(nextValue, baseX, baseY, nextValue);

          }

What is this class "DrawingCanvas"?

What is this class "DrawingCanvas"?

it just sets up a frame where the drawRect() goes in and so on. Where all the drawing happens. Its something our lecturer taught us

Please understand that this is your urgency, not ours. You still haven't given us much to go on as we still have little clue as to what the DrawCanvas class is or does. Please read this section in the smart questions link: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Best of luck.
