CS 245 Lecture 7 – Custom Drawing

September 24, 2013 by . Filed under cs245, fall 2013, lectures.

Agenda

Design This

You’re coding up a game. There are good characters. There are bad ones. How do you model them? You wish to not repeat code.

Program This

Write a method that counts how many times a given character appears in a String. Try not to use a loop.

Recipe for Custom Drawing

Extend JPanel and override paintComponent:

class CustomCanvas extends JPanel {
  @Override
  public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    // insert drawing code here
  }
}

Code

Person.java

package lecture0924;

public class Person {
  protected int hitPoints;
}

GoodPerson.java

package lecture0924;

public class GoodPerson extends Person {
  public GoodPerson() {
    System.out.println(hitPoints);
  }
}

Sketcher.java

package lecture0924;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Sketcher {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sketcher");
    
    frame.add(new SketcherWidget(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
    
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(1200, 700);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

SketcherWidget.java

package lecture0924;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseMotionListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Random;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class SketcherWidget extends JPanel implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener {
  private ArrayList<Point> points;

  public SketcherWidget() {
    points = new ArrayList<Point>();

    Random generator = new Random();
    for (int i = 0; i < 90 + 1; ++i) {
      points.add(new Point(generator.nextInt(1200),
                           generator.nextInt(700)));
    }
    
    addMouseListener(this);
    addMouseMotionListener(this);
  }

  @Override
  public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    // Draw a pink line.
    g.setColor(Color.PINK);
    g.drawLine(0, 0, 1200, 700);
    
    // Draw some circles, recursively.
    drawCircles(g, 500);
    
    // Draw points.
    g.setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
    for (Point point : points) {
      g.fillOval(point.x, point.y, 5, 5);
    }
  }
  
  private void drawCircles(Graphics g, int radius) {
    if (radius <= 0) {
      // base case
      // don't do anything, probably omit this case from the code
    } else {
      // general case: draw circle of given radius and inner ones
      g.setColor(Color.RED);
      g.fillOval(100, 150, radius, radius);
      g.setColor(Color.WHITE);
      g.fillOval(100, 150, radius - 5, radius - 5);

      drawCircles(g, radius - 10);
    }
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
  }

  @Override
  public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
    points.add(e.getPoint());
    repaint();
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
    points.add(e.getPoint());
    repaint();
  }

  @Override
  public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
  }
}

StringUtilities.java

package lecture0924;

public class StringUtilities {
  public static int nOccurrences(String s) {
    if (s.isEmpty()) {
      return 0;
    } else if (s.charAt(0) == 'F') {
      return 1 + nOccurrences(s.substring(1));
    } else {
      return 0 + nOccurrences(s.substring(1));
    }
  }
  
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(nOccurrences("FooF"));
    System.out.println(nOccurrences("FFFFF"));
    System.out.println(nOccurrences(".........."));
  }
}

I miss being young
I drew things without machines
I thought I could then
