How to draw a small square(handles) on the edge of a circle at each quadrant?

[Shania_01]

Hello, does anyone know how i can draw a small handle (square) on the edge of the circle at each quadrant( for e.g at the north,east,west and south quadrants) I used general path to draw the circle, now I'm having difficulties to draw the handles. Here is my code:

//class1
 
 
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.GeneralPath;
import java.awt.geom.PathIterator;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
 
 
 
 
public class RoundShape {
 
 
	Point[] points;
    GeneralPath circle;
    final int INC = 5;
 
    public RoundShape(){
    	initPoints();
    	initCircle();
    }
 
 
 
    private void initPoints()
    {
        int numberOfPoints = 360/INC;
        points = new Point[numberOfPoints];
        double x = 175.0;
        double y = 175.0;
        double r = 50.0;
        int count = 0;
        for(int theta = 0; theta < 360; theta+=INC)
        {
            int xpt = (int)(x + r * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(theta)));
            int ypt = (int)(y + r * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(theta)));
            points[count++] = new Point(xpt, ypt);
        }
    }
 
    private void initCircle()
    {
        circle = new GeneralPath();
        for(int j = 0; j < points.length; j++)
        {
            if(j == 0)
                circle.moveTo(points[j].x, points[j].y);
            else
                circle.lineTo(points[j].x, points[j].y);
        }
        circle.closePath();
    }
 
	public void paintRound(Graphics2D g2d){
 
		Shape round=getroundShape();
		g2d.draw(round);
 
	}
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
	 private Shape getSPointRectangle(int x, int y) {
	        return new Rectangle2D.Double(x - 3, y - 3, 6, 6);
	    }
 
 
 
 
 
	public Shape getroundShape(){
		Shape s=circle;
		return s;
 
	}
 
 
 
 
 
}
 
//class2
 
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
 
 
public class MainRound extends JPanel {
 
	RoundShape rs=new RoundShape();
 
	public MainRound(){

		super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
                            RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
 
        g2d.setPaint(Color.black);
        g2d.setStroke(new BasicStroke(15));
 
        rs.paintRound(g2d);
 
	}
 
 
	public static void main(String args[]){
 
		MainRound mr=new MainRound();

Can you compute the x,y values for each of the 4 locations where you want to draw?
Given those values and a little math you should be able to compute the correction to each of the x,y values to place the rectangles where you want them. Paper and pencil are useful for working out the details.

Hello, i tried the +/- x and +/- y directions. I modified the code so that i can draw the circle on mouse click and i use mouse dragged so that i can drag it to any locations. But i when i run the codes, it draws itself on the top at 0,0 and i'm not able to drag it to other part of the screen. Here is my code

 
import javax.swing.*;

	Point[] points;
    GeneralPath circle;
    final int p = 5;
 
    double x ;
    double y;
 
    public RoundShape(double x, double y){
    	this.x=x;
    	this.y=y;
    	initPoints();
    	initCircle();
    }
 
 
 
 
 
 
    private void initPoints()
    {
        int numberOfPoints = 360/p;
        points = new Point[numberOfPoints];
 
        double r = 50.0;
        int count = 0;
        for(int theta = 0; theta < 360; theta+=p)
        {
            int xpt = (int)(x + r * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(theta)));
            int ypt = (int)(y + r * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(theta)));
            points[count++] = new Point(xpt, ypt);
        }
    }

Where does the code set the x,y values so that they are not == 0?
