    Study Notes

    DrawingPanel in Java with MVC/OOP

    • DrawingPanel is a class for creating graphics in Java, not part of the standard Java library. Download and use separately.
    • This guide details using DrawingPanel in Java MVC/OOP programs.

    Understanding DrawPanel

    • DrawPanel is a subclass of javax.swing.JPanel.
    • It handles window management and provides a Graphics object for drawing.

    Creating a DrawingPanel

    • Several constructors exist:
      • Default width/height.
      • Customizable width/height.
      • Loading an image from a file.
      • Loading an image from a filename.
    • Modifications might be needed for Java 7 or lower, involving annotation changes (comment out or remove annotations).
      • Search the code for @FunctionalInterface.

    Drawing on the Panel

    • getGraphics() method retrieves Graphics2D object for drawing.
    • Common methods:
      • drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2): Draws a line.
      • drawRect(x, y, width, height): Draws a rectangle outline.
      • fillRect : Fills a rectangle.
      • drawOval / fillOval: Draws/fills an oval.
      • drawString(text, x, y): Draws text.
      • setColor(Color c): Sets drawing color.
      • drawRoundRect / fillRoundRect: Draws rounded corners.
      • setStroke: Sets line width.

    Colors

    • setColor() method sets drawing color.
    • Predefined colors (e.g., Color.RED, Color.BLUE) or custom colors using Color(r, g, b).

    Fonts

    • setFont() method changes the font for text.
    • Create Font objects with Font(name, style, size).

    Advanced Features

    • Event Listeners (e.g., addMouseListener) for user interaction.
    • clear() method clears the drawing panel.
    • Pixel information access (e.g., getPixel()).
    • Image Loading using loadImage(File file) or loadImage(String filename).

    Custom Drawing with paintComponent()

    • Override paintComponent() in a subclass to create custom drawings.
    • Call super.paintComponent() first.
    • Cast Graphics to Graphics2D for advanced features.

    Common Use Cases

    • Simple Animations (using timers or loops).
    • Interactive Games (responding to user input with mouse or keyboard).
    • Data Visualization (charts, graphs, diagrams).

    Drawing Techniques

    • Shapes: Draw various shapes (rectangles, ovals, lines).
    • Colors: Set drawing colors.
    • Fonts: Change text fonts.

    Connecting DrawPanel to the Main Frame

    • Add DrawPanel to the JFrame's content pane using frame.add(panel).

    Using DrawPanel with ArrayLists

    • Store and manage graphical objects (e.g., Shape objects) in an ArrayList.
    • Loop over to draw shapes.

    Implementing DrawPanel with MVC

    • Model: Holds data and business logic.
    • View: Displays the data and handles user input.
    • Controller: Intermediates model and view.
      • Example: Add a shape, the controller updates the model, view is repainted.

    Implementing DrawPanel with OOP

    • OOP principles used to create reusable drawing components.
    • Create classes of graphical objects (e.g., Shape, Circle, Rectangle).
    • Shape is an abstract base class.
    • Inheritance - subclass to create specialized shapes.
