Figure 4.3. Parametric equations simplify the modeling of curves where
y
is not a
single-valued function of
x
.
The code that draws a circle is a fairly direct translation of the mathematical
formulas. One subtlety is that the code reduces the height and width of the
Graphics
object because the pixels are numbered from 0 to height -1 and from 0
to width -1:
package com.oozinoz.applications;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import com.oozinoz.ui.SwingFacade;
public class ShowCircle extends JPanel
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
ShowCircle sc = new ShowCircle();
sc.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
SwingFacade.launch(sc, " Circle");
}
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
super.paintComponent(g);
int nPoint = 101;
double w = getWidth() - 1;
double h = getHeight() - 1;
double r = Math.min(w, h) / 2.0;
int[] x = new int[nPoint];
int[] y = new int[nPoint];
for (int i = 0; i < nPoint; i++)
{
double t = ((double) i) / (nPoint - 1);
double theta = Math.PI * 2.0 * t;
