Class Draw

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ActionListener, KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, EventListener

    public final class Draw
    extends Object
    implements ActionListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, KeyListener
    The Draw data type provides a basic capability for creating drawings with your programs. It uses a simple graphics model that allows you to create drawings consisting of points, lines, and curves in a window on your computer and to save the drawings to a file. This is the object-oriented version of standard draw; it supports multiple independent drawing windows.

    For additional documentation, see Section 3.1 of Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

        y - the center y-coordinate of the image
        filename - the name of the image/picture, e.g., "ball.gif"
