Graphics Operations

• drawLine( int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2 )

• drawString( String s, int x, int y )

• drawRect( int x, int y, int width, int height )

• drawOval( int x, int y, int width, int height )

• fillOval( int x, int y, int width, int height )

• setColor(Color newColor)

Drawing Bars public void paint(Graphics g) {

drawBars(g);

}

void drawBars (Graphics g) {

if (pointHistory == null) return;

final int BAR_WIDTH = 6;

Rectangle myBounds = getBounds();

for (int i = 0; i < pointHistory.size(); i++) {

PointModel nextPoint = (PointModel) pointHistory.elementAt(i);

g.setColor(java.awt.Color.darkGray);

g.fillRect(nextPoint.getX() - BAR_WIDTH, myBounds.height -

nextPoint.getY(), BAR_WIDTH, nextPoint.getY());

}

}

Implementing Graphical UI

• Create the window– Use Frames, LayoutManagers, Panels, Buttons,

TextFields

• React to user input– Define Listeners that call methods in Model

• Display output– Override paint() method– Call graphics operations

Displaying Points

All four views displayed concurrently and kept in Sync.

Constructor

Panel Controller

Panel

•Create control components (text fields, buttons)

•Add components

•Create component listeners

•Register listeners with components.

Composer

Composer:Single Main Class

main()

•Create frame

•Set its layout manager

•Create model, view(s) and controller(s)

•Make views listener of model

•Add views and controllers to frame

•Set frame size

•Make frame visible

• Set frame location
