In this shot, we’ll learn about the draw3DRect() method that draws a 3D highlighted outline of the rectangle with specified parameters.
This method is provided by the Graphics class present in the java.awt package.
draw3DRect(x, y, width, height, boolean)
The method accepts the following parameters:
x: The x coordinate of the rectangle.y: The y coordinate of the rectangle.width: The width of the rectangle.height: The height of the rectangle.boolean: Determines whether the rectangle to be drawn appears above the surface or sunk into the surface.Let’s take a look at an example:
//import required packages
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Main extends JPanel {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
//set color to graphics object
g.setColor (Color.gray);
//draw raised rectangle
g.draw3DRect (25, 10, 50, 75, true);
//draw sinked rectangle
g.draw3DRect (25, 110, 50, 75, false);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Instantiate JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
//add panel
frame.getContentPane().add(new Main());
//Will exit the program when you close the gui
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//set width and height of the frame
frame.setSize(400, 400);
//set visibility of the frame
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}In the above code:
50, height 75, and 25 as x coordinate and 10 as y coordinate.
