drawOval()
drawOval()
The method
drawOval()
is one of the methods of a
Graphics
object.
drawOval( int X, int Y, int width, int height )
This draws a circle or an oval that fits within the rectangle specified by the X, Y, width and height arguments. The oval is drawn inside a rectangle whose upper left hand corner is at (X, Y), and whose width and height are as specified.
The measurements are in terms of pixels.
The (X, Y) position is relative to the upper left hand corner of the applet's
drawing area.
It gives the location of the upper left corner of a rectangle.
The width
and height
arguments give the horizontal
and vertical size of the rectangle.
The drawOval()
method draws the oval that fits inside the rectangle.
(It does not actually draw the rectangle.)
You do not give the method the center and radius of the circle you want.
If the height and width of the rectangle are both the same,
what type of figure does drawOval()
draw?
