I want to represent a timer by having a filled circle which is fully drawn over the course of the timer by segment. I.e. If the circle is filled in every 1 second for a timer of 4 seconds the first will show a quarter of a circle then a half then three-quarters and finally a full circle.
Is there a way to draw these slices of a circle in java? I've looked into arbitrary shapes in the graphics API but not sure if this is the right way to go or if there is something written into the language which can easily produce these type of shapes?
Any help much appreciated.
Yes, it's possible. Yes, Graphics2D has the ability to do this for you
Take a look at Drawing Geometric Primitives (look for the Arc2D section).
To "animate" the progress, it would probably be easiest to use a javax.swing.Timer
, but your requirements might require you to use a SwingWorker
instead. Have a look at Currency in Swing and How to use Swing Timers for more information.
The following example is relatively simple. It assumes a progress of 0-100% and generates a arc as required. It would be a simple matter of changing the color of the Graphics2D
context and using draw(Shape)
to draw an out line of the circle should you want one.
