Here is the program which uses the CirclePanel class .

Java Notes

Example - CircleMain.java

This example shows how to draw circle in a swing application.

This example uses the CirclePanel component for drawing the circle.

 How to run the example code?

Create a new java file called CircleMain.java and copy the code given below.

use javac to compile the class:

javac CircleMain.java

To run the example type following command on dos prompt:

java CircleMain

The above command will execute the example.

Here is the full code of the application:

Notes

1. The drawing is declared as an instance variable, which can be referenced in all methods. There is no need for that here since no one every references after it has been built. However, it is very common to interact with a drawing during execution of a program, and an instance variable is useful for later interaction.
2. Because the variable doesn't need to be an instance variable or indeed any variable, this could be rewritten as

   content.add(new CirclePanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
