CSCI 1301 Lab 6

Draw me a picture: Applet Version

For Lab 6, you'll use your newly developed skills in drawing objects in applets to produce a drawing of your favorite cartoon character, concept, or object in the real world. The requirements are:

• At least 10 objects (ovals, rectangles, polygons, images, etc.)
• At least five different colors, one of which must be user-defined (you create a new Color(R,G,B) instead of using Color constants)
• At least one outlined object (draw)
• At least one filled object (fill)

Options: Draw a polygon, a String, an Arc (pacman or piece of pie), or rounded rectangle (see code at bottom)

At the top of the file, place the following lines of comments:

// FileName.java
// by Your Name
// CS1301

// Date

Due Tuesday, October 25, ONLINE at the beginning of class. Make sure to save in a folder (if using a USB drive) called cs1301/lab6/, as well as in a folder on your P: drive called P:\web\cs1301\lab6. Link to the applet HTM file from your CS 1301 home page - we will go over this once more at the beginning of class.

drawing polygons (inside a JApplet):

int xPoints[] = { 42, 52, 72, 52, 60, 40, 15, 28,  9, 32, 42};
int yPoints[] = { 38, 62, 68, 80,105, 85,102, 75, 58, 60, 38};

public void paint(Graphics gr)
{
    gr.setColor(Color.red);
    gr.drawPolygon(xPoints, yPoints, xPoints.length);  // .fillPolygon to shade in
}

// Note: xPoints and yPoints are lists of the x and y coordinates of the polygon in question
// The above example draws a star starting and ending with the point (42, 38)

Drawing Strings:

public void paint(Graphics gr)
{
    gr.setColor(Color.blue);
    gr.drawString("Text here", 40, 140);  // x, y
}

Drawing Arcs:

public void paint(Graphics gr)
{
    gr.setColor(Color.red);
    gr.drawArc(10,50,100,100,20,320);  // x, y, width, height, start angle, sweep angle
    // fill, too
}

Drawing Rounded Rectangles:

public void paint(Graphics gr)
{
    gr.setColor(Color.red);
    gr.drawRoundRect(220, 20, 80, 80, 40, 40);  // x, y, width, height, corner roundness x 2
    // fill, too
}
