Java Drawing Circle and Ellipse

Java applet has drawOval() method to draw both circle and ellipse on the applet window.

Java also has fillOval () method to draw filled oval.

Syntax

g.drawOval(int x,int y,int width,int height);
g.fillOval(int x,int y,int width,int height);

The Both method takes 4 arguments, first two represents the top left corners and other two represents width and height of oval.

Circle

If width and height arguments are same, then oval becomes circle.

Example

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
/* <applet code="DrawOvalEx.class" width=300 height=300>
</applet> */

public class DrawOvalEx extends Applet
{	
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.drawOval(60, 60, 150, 150);
		g.fillOval(220, 60, 150, 150);
	}
}

Output

Oval

Ovals are like a rectangle with rounded corners. Oval does not have same width and height.

Example

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
/* <applet code="DrawOvalEx.class" width=300 height=300>
</applet> */

public class DrawOvalEx extends Applet
{	
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.fillOval(60, 60, 80, 100);
		g.fillOval(150, 60, 80, 100);
		g.drawOval(95, 170, 100, 50);
		g.drawOval(5, 90, 30, 100);
		g.drawOval(255, 90, 30, 100);
		g.drawOval(120, 250, 50, 50);
		
	}
}
