Lesson: Working with Geometry
In prior lessons, you have learned the graphics concept, including basic information
about the coordinate system and graphic object creation. Now, you will progress to
more detailed lessons about the 2D graphics classes.
This lesson shows you how to use the
Graphics2D class to draw graphic primitives as well as
arbitrary shapes, and how to display graphics with
fancy outline and fill styles. These topics are discussed in the following
sections.
This section explains how to create standard shapes such as points, lines,
curves, arcs, rectangles, and ellipses.
This section explains how to draw shapes represented by combinations of straight
geometric primitives by using the
GeneralPath class.
This section explains how to set the stroke and paint attributes to
control the outline and fill styles applied to
Shape objects and text.
