[SOLVED] Cse 142 programming assignment #3: doodle

Program Description:
This assignment covers parameters and graphics. Turn in Java files named Doodle.java and Circles.java.
To compile and run this assignment, you must download the file DrawingPanel.java from the Homework section of the class web page and save it in the same folder as your code. Do not turn in DrawingPanel.java.
Part A: Doodle (2 points):
For the first part of this assignment, turn in a file Doodle.java that draws a figure using the DrawingPanel
provided in class. You may draw any figure you like that is at least 100 x 100 pixels, contains at least three
shapes, uses at least two distinct colors, is your own work, and is not highly similar to your figure for Part B.
Your program also should not have any infinite loops and should not read any user input. Your score for Part A
will be based solely on external correctness as just defined; it will not be graded on internal correctness.
Part B: Circles (18 points):
The second part of this assignment asks you to turn in a file
named Circles.java that draws a specific figure of grids of
concentric circles. Your program should exactly reproduce the
image at left. (The image at left was taken on Windows; your
window may look slightly different.)
The Part B image has several levels of structure. There is a basic “subfigure” that occurs throughout, containing concentric
circles inside it. The subfigure is repeated to form larger grids.
The overall drawing panel is size 500 x 350. Its background is
cyan. The rectangular area behind the grids is green, and the
background of the circles is yellow. The rectangles and circles
are outlined in black. Each grid also has a pair of lines drawn
across it in an “X” pattern.
The seven figures on the panel should have the following properties.
Description (x, y) position size of subfigure circles per subfigure rows/cols
top-left (0, 0) 100 x 100 10 N/A
top-middle 1 (130, 25) 100 x 100 10 N/A
top-middle 2 (260, 0) 60 x 60 6 N/A
top-right (360, 50) 80 x 80 4 N/A
bottom-left (10, 170) 48 x 48 4 3 x 3
bottom-middle (180, 200) 24 x 24 2 5 x 5
bottom-right (330, 170) 72 x 72 9 2 x 2
You can use the DrawingPanel’s image comparison feature (File, Compare to Web File…) to check your output.
Different operating systems draw shapes in slightly different ways, so it is normal to have some pixels different
between your output and the expected output. You do not need to achieve 0 pixels difference to get full credit
for your output. If there is no visible difference to the naked eye, your output is considered correct. (If your
figure looks the same but has “thicker” black lines, you may be re-drawing the same shapes multiple times.)

Implementation Guidelines for Part B:
To receive full credit on Part B, you are required to have two particular static methods described below. These
methods use a great deal of parameter passing and perform the program’s complex numeric computations.
1. Method to draw a subfigure
Your first method should draw one single concentric circle subfigure. A subfigure is
one set of yellow and black concentric circles, such as those at left. Different subfigures have different sizes, positions, and so on. Therefore, your method should accept
several parameters so that it is possible to call it many times to draw the many different subfigures on the screen.
You should assume that every subfigure’s width and height are the same, and that the subfigure’s size is a multiple of its number of circles, so that all coordinates are integers.
2. Method to draw a grid
Once you have completed the method that produces one subfigure, write another method
that produces a square grid of subfigures. You will call this method three different times
from main to produce the grids of the overall figure. It will need a lot of parameters to be
flexible enough to draw each of these grids. The key point is that this single method can be
called multiple times to produce all the grids in the overall figure. Your two methods
should work together to remove redundancy. Assume each grid has an equal number of rows and columns.
Place the following statement at the top of your Java files, so that your code can use graphics:
import java.awt.*; // so that I can use Graphics
Development Strategy (How to Get Started):
This program does not require as many lines of code as past ones (our solution is under 65 lines). But the numeric computations and parameters are not simple. You might be overwhelmed with the amount of detail you
have to handle all at once. As famous computer scientist Brian Kernighan once said, “Controlling complexity is
the essence of computer programming.” To make things easier, begin with a smaller piece of the problem.
It may help to compute a value that we’ll call the “gap,” or the distance between neighboring
pairs of circles in a subfigure. For example, the 100×100 top-left subfigure has 10 circles,
and each circle has a gap of 5 pixels from the others (a total of 20 gaps in each direction).
Look at the subfigures to be drawn and try to find the relationship between their various
properties and the resulting gap. Each subfigure uses a different gap value based on its parameters. You could also store the gap in a variable and use it in your subfigure code.
Write your code in stages, repeatedly making small improvements. Start by having your first method draw only
the upper-left subfigure, then generalize it by adding one parameter at a time. For example, add parameters
to change the x/y position. Test the parameter by passing different values. Once it works, move on to the next.
Style Guidelines:
For this assignment you are limited to the language features in Chapters 1-3 of the textbook.
We require at least the two methods named previously. You may use additional methods if you like. You may
receive a deduction if your methods accept too many parameters or unnecessary parameters. An “unnecessary”
parameter in this case is one whose value is redundant with another’s or could be computed using others’ values.
Give meaningful names to methods, variables, and parameters, and properly indent your code. Follow Java’s
naming standards as specified in Chapter 1. Limit the lengths of your lines to fewer than 100 characters. Include meaningful comment headers at the top of your program and at the start of each method.
