Hi, I'm really stuck on how to go about programming this. I need to draw a circle within a JFrame with a radius and points around the circumference. i can mathematically calculate how to find the coordinates of the point around the edge but i cant seem to be able to program the circle. I am currently using a Ellipse2D method but that doesn't seem to work and doesn't return a radius, as under my understanding, it doesn't draw the circle from the center rather from a starting coordinate using a height and width. My current code is on a separate frame but i need to add it to my existing frame.

import java.awt.*; 
import javax.swing.*; 
import java.awt.geom.*; 

public class circle extends JFrame { 
  public circle() { 
     super("circle"); 
     setSize(410, 435); 
     setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); 
     Panel sp = new Panel(); 
     Container content = getContentPane(); 
     content.add(sp); 
     setContentPane(content); 
     setVisible(true); 
 } 

 public static void main (String args[]){
  circle sign = new circle(); 
 } 
} 

class Panel extends JPanel { 
 public void paintComponent(Graphics comp) { 
     super.paintComponent(comp); 
     Graphics2D comp2D = (Graphics2D) comp; 



     comp2D.setColor(Color.red); 
     Ellipse2D.Float sign1 = new Ellipse2D.Float(0F, 0F, 350F, 350F); 
     comp2D.fill(sign1); 


 } 
}
