    Default problem with coordinates (GUI)

    Hi everybody
    i have written a java code (GUI) , which a red marker (red point) should follow a line between 2 positions, the program works good but the red point is not exact on the line (it just moves one t edge of the line). now i need some help to change x and y coordinate to be one the line not on the edge..
    thanks

    How can the posted code be compiled and executed for testing? I don't see a main() method or a frame.

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Can you copy the full contents of the console and paste it here showing what was entered when the program was executed so the code can be tested with the same input that you used.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I've merged the duplicate threads.

    Can you copy the full contents of the console and paste it here showing what was entered when the program was executed so the code can be tested with the same input that you used.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Hi Norm,
    thanks for reply,
    there is no problem to execute the code, my question is when i run the code, in the animation part, should a red marker follow the line between to positions, but the red point is one edge of line not exact on the line, now i want it to be on line when it moves on line!!! hope that i clear with my explanation!
    thanks

    When the code is executed it wants input. What is entered?

    A suggested change to make testing easier and faster. Put the answers in the program:
       StringReader sr = new StringReader("5\n10,40\n40,60\n90,110\n150,200\n10,60\nY\n");
        java.io.BufferedReader in_reader = new java.io.BufferedReader(sr); //new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in));

    What is wrong with the code now? The red ball stays centered on the line with the code in post#9

    yes , the problem is the red ball moves on the edge of line and doesnt stay centered, for example try these new inputs, between 2 first point it is on the center of the line , but after that between the other positions , it goes on one side of the line, if u try this new input u will see what i mean, thank alot for helping
    How many positions?:

    4
    Write positions in each line seperated by comma. Ex.
    X1,Y1
    X2,Y2

    20,50
    90,150
    250,70
    30,50

    Default Re: problem with coordinates (GUI)

    In the future when posting input for the program, use the StringReader constructor I posted in #10.
    That makes for easier testing, instead of having to type in all those numbers at the console.

    --- Update ---

    What is different between the lines in post#9 and post#11?
    The ball stayed centered for post#9 and was below the second line in post#11.

    that's the point, in post #9 stayed centered, but when i try for post #11 it doesnt work good. same code and no changes , but different input works insane.
    can u do me a favor and tell me why is it so?
    StringReader sr = new StringReader("4\n20,50\n90,150\n250,70\n30,50\nY\n");
    java.io.BufferedReader in_reader = new java.io.BufferedReader(sr); //new java.io.InputStreamReader(System.in));

    The x,y used for the draw and fill are on the line and not properly offset to center the ball on the line.
    Look at the definition of where the x,y location is for the draw and fill methods. Take a piece of paper and draw the line and a centered ball. Look at where the x,y location must be for the ball to be centered on the line.

    The code has no comments describing its logic and requires too much time to figure out what the code is doing or what the purpose of any class or method is.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
