This environment, unlike the Java Canvas demo some of you hve played
with, gives you access to the full
java.awt.Graphics
API. Your code’s draw method will be called with a
Graphic object, a width, and a height and can use any
of the methods on the Graphic object to draw an image.
The image will be generated and returned to this webpage and
displayed on the right. You should use the width and height
arguments to make your code resilliant in the face of changing
window sizes.
Some things to try:
- Draw a circle in the center of the drawing area whose size is some fraction of the height of the drawing area.
- Draw two circles, centered vertically, one 1/4 of the way from the left side of the drawing area and the other 1/4 of the way from the right side.
- Draw two circles that are just touching.
- Draw a rectangle that exactly enclosed the two touching circles.
-
Whatever you want! Experiment with generative art or try to make
something representational. Be sure to read the docs linked above
to find out what all you can do with the
Graphicsobject.
