GUI Issue

[Nakinsige]

Hi friends, i have an issue , I want to make JButton that will grow a circle. I have JButton in the frame using BorderLayout on the WEST side of the frame i want to link up the two so that when the JButton is clicked the circle will grow or become bigger. I have thought and reached max. Am a newbie

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class GrowCircle extends JPanel {

	int x = 225;
	int y = 200;

	JFrame frame;

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		GrowCircle g = new GrowCircle();
		g.setUpScreen();

	}

	public void setUpScreen() {

		JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

		CircleDrawPanel drawPanel = new CircleDrawPanel();
		
		

		frame.getContentPane().add(drawPanel);
		frame.setVisible(true);
		frame.setSize(500, 500);

		JButton east = new JButton("Click me to grow the circle");
		

		frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.EAST, east);
		

	}

	class CircleDrawPanel extends JPanel {
		public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
			g.setColor(Color.blue);
			g.fillOval(x, y, 50, 50);

		}
  
	}
	
	

}

You didn't bother to return to the last thread you started before asking this near-identical question here. Nor did you return to the cross post you started on JavaRanch. --edit: see my remarks in the thread linked in the next paragraph.

I'm closing this thread. If you have anything to add, add it on your earlier thread: Increase Oval size by 2 every time the program is run. For the coordinates 50,50
