Smaller Circles

The circles are not side-by-side, and since their left side is touching the left edge of the lines that divide the drawing into 10 regions, the row of circles is shifted left a bit. Here is the modified applet:

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;

// Assume that the drawing area is 300 by 150.
// Draw ten red circles side-by-side across the drawing area.
public class TenSmallCircles extends JApplet
{
  final int width = 300, height = 150;

  public void paint ( Graphics gr )
  { 
    gr.setColor( Color.red );
    int diameter = 20;
    int Y = height/2 - diameter/2;    // the top edge of the squares

    int count =  0 ;
    while (  count < 10  )
    {
      int X = count*width/10;          // the left edge of each square
      gr.drawOval( X, Y, diameter, diameter );
      count = count + 1; 
    }
  }
}

And here is the pretty picture that it draws on your screen:

Not all browsers can run applets. If you see these words, yours can not. You should be able to continue reading these lessons, however.

Here is a picture of the situation with the guide lines drawn in:

It would be nice if the circles were all shifted right.
