Input/Output: Graphics: Outline and filled shapes

Write a java program, MyRandArt_YI.java to create an abstract painting using the geometric functions in the StdDraw library and the random function to generate points, colors, and thickness. Note: make sure to restrict ranges for each feature.

Geometric Abstract Painting: Mary Heilmann

  • Write a java program, MyCubicArt_YI.java to create an abstract painting using the geometric functions in the StdDraw library in the link below.

Students’ work from previous years

How to create your own colors:

setPenColor(int red, int green, int blue)
Creates an opaque RGB color with the specified red, green, and blue values.

Parameters:
red – the amount of red (between 0 and 255)
green – the amount of green (between 0 and 255)
blue – the amount of blue (between 0 and 255)

       StdDraw.setPenRadius(0.008);
       StdDraw.polygon(x,y);
       
    }
}

How to change thickness:

setPenRadius(0.05)

Sets the pen size to the default size (0.002). The pen is circular, so that lines have rounded ends, and when you set the pen radius and draw a point, you get a circle of the specified radius.

Input/Output: Drawing Random Circles

Write a program Circles_YI.java that draws filled circles of random size at random positions in the unit square, producing images like those below. Your program should take four command-line arguments: the number of circles, the probability that each circle is black, the minimum radius, and the maximum radius.

RandomBlock_YI.java Animation
Use the tools from the BouncingBall program to implement RandomBlock_YI.java. This program re-uses the program from the graph paper assignment and randomly select squares on the grid that will become a solid color or “alive” and then randomly it will become back to white or “dead” again.

Input/Output: Class StdOut

Class StdOut


  • public final class StdOut
    extends Object
    This class provides methods for printing strings and numbers to standard output.Getting started. To use this class, you must have StdOut.class in your Java classpath. If you used our autoinstaller, you should be all set. Otherwise, either download stdlib.jar and add to your Java classpath or download StdOut.java and put a copy in your working directory.

    Here is an example program that uses StdOut:

       public class TestStdOut {
           public static void main(String[] args) {
               int a = 17;
               int b = 23;
               int sum = a + b;
               StdOut.println("Hello, World");
               StdOut.printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, sum);
           }
       }
    

    Differences with System.out. The behavior of StdOut is similar to that of System.out, but there are a few technical differences:

    • StdOut coerces the character-set encoding to UTF-8, which is a standard character encoding for Unicode.
    • StdOut coerces the locale to Locale.US, for consistency with StdInDouble.parseDouble(String), and floating-point literals.
    • StdOut flushes standard output after each call to print() so that text will appear immediately in the terminal.

    Reference. For additional documentation, see Section 1.5 of Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne.

Input/Output: Graphics and Arrays: A Bar graph – Tracing

Let’s do some tracing with a smaller set of positive integers.

raw data array
{4,5,6,5,5,12,4,5,4,5,4,4,11,5,…} 100 random positive integers of range 1 to 20 inclusive

the goal in this assignment is to have the least number of “if” statements (if any at all)

the counter array initialy all elements are equal to ZERO — this is an array of 20 elements
counter array
{0,0,1,0,5,5,….} this is going to be the height of the rectangle

barCounter[rawData[i]]++

i = 0
rawData[0] –> 4
barCounter[rawData[0]]++
barCounter[4]++ –> 1 barCounter[0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,..]

i = 1
rawData[1] –> 5
barCounter[rawData[1]]++
barCounter[5]++ –> 1 barCounter[0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,..]

i = 2
rawData[2] –> 6
barCounter[rawData[2]]++
barCounter[6]++ –> 1 barCounter[0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,..]


i = 3
rawData[3] –> 5
barCounter[rawData[3]]++
barCounter[5]++ –> 2 barCounter[0,0,0,0,1,2,1,0,0,..]

i = 4
rawData[4] –> 5

barCounter[5]++ –> 3 barCounter[0,0,0,0,1,3,1,0,0,..]

i = 20 [0,1,0,0,1,6,9,0,18,19,17……,1,1] // height of
//each rectangle
// the index is the x coordinate of the bargraph rectangle
for ( int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
barCounter[rawData[i]]++;

for loop to draw the rectangles where x is the index of barCounter array
and y is the value of the array barCounter with index x

// a short program to trace it with print statements
public class bargraph0
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        int raw = 0;
        int counter =0;
      int [] rawData = {4,5,6,5,5,12,4,5,4,5,4,4,11,5};
      int [] barCounter = new int[13]; // since 12 is the max value
      for ( int i = 0; i < rawData.length; i++)
      {
          System.out.println("i " + i + " rawData " + rawData[i]);
            barCounter[rawData[i]]++;
            raw = rawData[i];
            counter = barCounter[rawData[i]];
            System.out.println("barCounter array");
            for ( int j = 0; j < barCounter.length; j++)
            {
                System.out.print(barCounter[j] + " ");
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
    
}

Input/Output: printf

 

Java’s print() and println() methods are the ones that you have been using. The printf() method gives us more control over the appearance of the output.

  • Formatted printing basics. In its simplest form, printf() takes two arguments. The first argument is called the format string. It contains a conversion specification that describes how the second argument is to be converted to a string for output.

Format strings begin with % and end with a one-letter conversion code. The following table summarizes the most frequently used codes:

  • Format string. The format string can contain characters in addition to those for the conversion specification. The conversion specification is replaced by the argument value (converted to a string as specified) and all remaining characters are passed through to the output.
  • Multiple arguments. The printf() function can take more than two arguments. In this case, the format string will have an additional conversion specification for each additional argument.

Here is more documentation on printf format string syntax
