Centering a Circle

To center the circle in the applet's area think in terms of the square that contains it. Put the square's center at the center of the drawing area. If the width and height of the drawing area is 150 by 150, then the square's upper left corner should be put at:

X = (150/2 - radius)

Y = (150/2 - radius)

Similar calculations are needed to center other figures, or when you want to put a figure at some place other than the center of the drawing area.
