Java - Applet - fillArc

The fillArc() method in Java applet is used to draw a filled arc with a specified position, dimension, and angle.

The syntax for the fillArc() method is as follows:

public void fillArc(int x, int y, int width, int height, int startAngle, int arcAngle);

Here is what each parameter represents:

  • x - The x-coordinate of the arc's upper-left corner.
  • y - The y-coordinate of the arc's upper-left corner.
  • width - The width of the arc.
  • height - The height of the arc.
  • startAngle - The starting angle of the arc in degrees. 0 degrees is at the 3 o'clock position.
  • arcAngle - The angle of the arc in degrees.

The fillArc() method can be used to create different shapes by varying the values of the parameters. Here is an example of using fillArc() to draw a filled arc:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class FillArcExample extends Applet {
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        g.setColor(Color.red);
        g.fillArc(50, 50, 100, 100, 0, 45);
    }
}

In this example, we create an applet that draws a filled arc with a red color using the fillArc() method. The arc is positioned at (50, 50) and has a width and height of 100 pixels. The startAngle is 0 degrees, and the arcAngle is 45 degrees, which means the arc will be drawn from the 3 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position.

You can experiment with different values of the parameters to create various filled arc shapes.
