Thread: Drawing a shape

Hey, so my problem is that when my program draws a shape it is inside a small square, as you can see here(the arrow shows the small square):

does anyone know how i can stop this from happening ?


I want my whole window to be the painting JPanel, except for a row at the bottom just for my slider and labels/textboxes.

This is the code that draws the shapes, I make an instance of it within one of my other classes.

package calculations;   import java.awt.*; import java.awt.geom.*;   import javax.swing.JPanel;   class DrawShape extends JPanel { private int x = 50, y = 10;   public DrawShape(int newX, int newY) { x = newX; y = newY;   this.setBackground(Color.GRAY); repaint() ; }   @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;   super.paintComponent(g2);   BasicStroke pen = new BasicStroke(4F); g2.setStroke(pen);   //Square Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(x,y,50,50); g2.setColor(Color.BLACK); g2.draw(rect1);   //Circle Ellipse2D.Float circle1 = new Ellipse2D.Float(x+100,y,50,50); g2.setColor(Color.BLUE); g2.draw(circle1);   int xCoords[] = {x+200,x+200,x+260}; int yCoords[] = {y,y+50,y+50};   //Triangle Polygon poly1 = new Polygon(xCoords, yCoords,3); g2.setColor(Color.RED); g2.draw(poly1); } }

I can't see what you're talking about in that picture. I took the code you posted and made it runnable. What's wrong with this?

import java.awt.*; import java.awt.geom.*;   import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel;   class TestClass extends JPanel { private int x = 50, y = 10;   public TestClass() { x = 50; y = 10;   setPreferredSize( new Dimension( 380, 80 ) );   setBackground(Color.GRAY); }   @Override public void paintComponent(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;   super.paintComponent(g2);   BasicStroke pen = new BasicStroke(4F); g2.setStroke(pen);   //Square Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(x,y,50,50); g2.setColor(Color.BLACK); g2.draw(rect1);   //Circle Ellipse2D.Float circle1 = new Ellipse2D.Float(x+100,y,50,50); g2.setColor(Color.BLUE); g2.draw(circle1);   int xCoords[] = {x+200,x+200,x+260}; int yCoords[] = {y,y+50,y+50};   //Triangle Polygon poly1 = new Polygon(xCoords, yCoords,3); g2.setColor(Color.RED); g2.draw(poly1); }   public static void main( String[] args ) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable() { public void run() { JFrame frame = new JFrame();   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE ); frame.add( new TestClass() ); frame.pack();   frame.setVisible( true );   } // end method run()   } );   } // end method main()   } // end class TestClass
