Draw string along a circle in Java
Description
The following code shows how to draw string along a circle.
Example
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.Shape;
import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext;
import java.awt.font.GlyphVector;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
// ww w . j ava 2 s . co m
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
String s = "java2s.com";
Font font = new Font("Courier", Font.PLAIN, 40);
g2d.translate(20, 20);
FontRenderContext frc = g2d.getFontRenderContext();
GlyphVector gv = font.createGlyphVector(frc, s);
int length = gv.getNumGlyphs();
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
Point2D p = gv.getGlyphPosition(i);
AffineTransform at = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance(p.getX(), p.getY());
at.rotate((double) i / (double) (length - 1) * Math.PI / 3);
Shape glyph = gv.getGlyphOutline(i);
Shape transformedGlyph = at.createTransformedShape(glyph);
g2d.fill(transformedGlyph);
}
}
}
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.
