Re: Need help with pie charts locations
public int getCenterPoint(int x1,int y1){Originally Posted by Norm
int xCenter = getWidth()/ 2;
int yCenter = getHeight()/ 2;
int radius = (int) (Math.min(getWidth(), getHeight()) * 0.4);
int diameter = 2 * radius;
int row = dcRef.columns[0].array.length; // number of rows
for (int i=0; i<row; i++) { // here is the problem (dead code)
x1 = xCenter - radius ;
y1 = yCenter - radius;
x1 = x1 + diameter + i;
return x1;
}
return y1;

Re: Need help with pie charts locations
The return x1 inside the loop will end the loop immediately.
The getCenterPoint() method returns an int value. Does a point have two values: x & y How is one int value a point?
Please describe what that method is supposed to do. It is passed: x & y (a point?) and then does what?
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
Yes, it returns points x & y. I will call this method then in another method that plots the pie charts.
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
The method only returns one int, not two ints. It either returns x or it returns y, not both.
Can you describe the steps the method should take to compute values and what value(s) it should return?
There is a class: Point that can hold an x & y value if you want to return them.
The x1 and y1 values passed to the method are not used???

Re: Need help with pie charts locations
I wanna call that method in this method
private void execute(String actionLine, Graphics g ) {
System.out.println("action=" + actionLine);
Color color[] = {Color.pink,
Color.blue,
Color.white,
Color.blue,
Color.red};
int row = dcRef.columns[0].array.length;
int col = dcRef.columns.length;
double sum = 0.0;
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < col; j++){
sum += dcRef.columns[j].array[i];
}
}
for (int i=0; i<row; i++) {
this.getCenterPoint(x1, y1); // call
for (int j=0; j<col; j++){
int startAngle = (int)( j* 360 / sum);
int arcAngle = (int)( i * 360 / sum);
if (i == row-1) {
arcAngle = 360 - startAngle;
}
Color co = color[j];
g.setColor(co);
g.fillArc(x1 , y1, width, height ,startAngle, arcAngle );
startAngle+=arcAngle;
}
}
}
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
Please explain what you want the getCenterPoint method to do. What parameters does it need, what values will it compute and what will it return.
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
I want it to hold the values of x & y
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
Methods do not HOLD values.
Use the Point class if you want something to hold the values of x & y
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
Re: Need help with pie charts locations
Ok, I will try that.
