Draw a star with GeneralPath in Java
Description
The following code shows how to draw a star with GeneralPath.
Example
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.GeneralPath;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
/* ww w . j ava 2s . c o m*/
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
Point2D.Float point = new Point2D.Float(100, 100); // store start point
GeneralPath p = new GeneralPath(GeneralPath.WIND_NON_ZERO);
p.moveTo(point.x, point.y);
p.lineTo(point.x + 20.0f, point.y - 5.0f); // Line from start to A
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x + 5.0f, point.y - 20.0f); // Line from A to B
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x + 5.0f, point.y + 20.0f); // Line from B to C
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x + 20.0f, point.y + 5.0f); // Line from C to D
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x - 20.0f, point.y + 5.0f); // Line from D to E
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x - 5.0f, point.y + 20.0f); // Line from E to F
point = (Point2D.Float)p.getCurrentPoint();
p.lineTo(point.x - 5.0f, point.y - 20.0f); // Line from F to g
p.closePath(); // Line from G to start
g2D.draw(p);
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setBounds(30, 30, 450, 450);
window.getContentPane().add(new MyCanvas());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
