Okay I found an example an kind of figured this out, but it is not diplaying each portion. Currently it displays the blue and green but what about the red and yellow portions? Have I missed something? can you point me in the right direction or show me a few different examples I can compare my code too?

There are hundreds of examples a simple web search would bring up. This one is nice.

By the way, that's not an applet. I hope you do not submit that to your teacher.

Well from my understanding of my reading, I have to create the code and then just create a html file with the class referenced. Is that totally wrong?!

Kind of. Applets are different than desktop Swing applications.

[ShawnaInMaine]

I went reading my book again and realized where I had went wrong. This is my new code but now I cannot get it display when testing so I have a feeling I've forgotten to display something somewhere. But what did i forget?

Are you running it as an applet or an application?

Then, consider what will draw with the values of x, y, w, and h set when the paint() method executes. What are they set to? Does that sound right?

This example is full of errors. The red portion isn't displayed because the arcAngle argument to fillArc is 0. See the fillArc docs. The yellow portion isn't displayed simply because the green portion is being drawn over it. Comment out the code that draws the green arc and you'll see.

This is supposed to be an applet.

I thought the values were drawn by these statements:

 startPosistion = 0;
    degrees = (int)(percMur * 360/100);
    g.setColor(Color.RED);
    g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, startPosistion, degrees);
   
    startPosistion = degrees;
    degrees =(int)(percRape * 360/100);
    g.setColor(Color.YELLOW);
    g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, startPosistion, degrees);
   
    startPosistion = startPosistion + degrees;
    degrees =(int)(PercBurg * 360/100);
    g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
    g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, startPosistion, degrees);
   
    startPosistion = startPosistion + (degrees + degrees);
    degrees =(int)(PercTheft * 360/100);
    g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, startPosistion, degrees);

I guess if these aren't the right drawing points then I am totally lost.

[tango185]

You have no values assigned to x, y, w, or h when you declared them. In your original code you set the values to:

[code]x = 80, y = 80, w = 800, h = 800[\code]

This pie graph is very large, though, so I would recommend using:

[code]x = 0, y = 0, w = 200, h = 200[\code]

[tango185]

To piggy-back on what blackcompe said, your yellow slice wasn't showing being of this code right here:

ShawnaInMaine, on 09 January 2013 - 04:12 PM, said:

    startPosistion = startPosistion + (degrees + degrees);
    degrees =(int)(PercTheft * 360/100);
    g.setColor(Color.GREEN);
    g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, startPosistion, degrees);

There's no need to add the degrees to the startPosistion value twice since startPosistion was already updated for the blue slice. So change that first line to:

startPosistion = startPosistion + degrees;

This will allow the yellow slice to show up.

Your red slice actually is showing up, but the slice is so small it doesn't appear to be. If you do the math you'll find that the value of percMur comes to 7.5x10^-4, or .00075. I would change the values of the crimes (murder, Rape, Burglary, Theft) to something more usable.

P.S. I apologize for the code tags in the previous post. I messed up, didn't preview, and now I can't edit the post.
