Hi. I have task to write program allowing users to draw stars, which can differ in size and amount of arms. When I was dealing with basic stars I was doing it with GeneralPath and tables of points :
int xPoints[] = { 55, 67, 109, 73, 83, 55, 27, 37, 1, 43 };
int yPoints[] = { 0, 36, 36, 54, 96, 72, 96, 54, 36, 36 };
Graphics2D g2d = ( Graphics2D ) g;
GeneralPath star = new GeneralPath();
star.moveTo( xPoints[ 0 ], yPoints[ 0 ] );
for ( int k = 1; k < xPoints.length; k++ )
star.lineTo( xPoints[ k ], yPoints[ k ] );
star.closePath();
g2d.fill( star );
What method should I choose for drawing stars with variable inner and outer radius, as well as different amount of arms ? This is what I should obtain :
