Thread: Drawing circles with smoother lines?

hiya,
just like to get some information on drawing circles.
the output from the code below displays a circle but the lines are broken.

thanks

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
 
public class Circles extends JApplet
{
	public void init()
	{
 
	}
	public void paint(Graphics g)
	{
		g.drawOval(10, 10, 100, 100);
	}
}

-- Cast the Graphics to Graphics2D :

Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

-- set the rendering hint:

g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

Anti-aliasing doesn't "stop working". It's a trade-off of sharpness for smoothness.
