retrieving path coordinates from Mysql database to draw bezier curve on JFrame

**aboyahia1435** · December 11th, 2013, 05:34 AM

I want to draw bezier cubic curves by retrieving data from MySQL database and then display the shape on JFrame
I have table has 3 columns (ID, ObjectID, Points)
Points column has coordinates of cubic curves, the statement i used
SELECT * FROM DB.TABNAME WHERE OBJECTID=1;
ObjectID=1 has 11 ID's, each ID contains a shape if i combine all ID`s together will form composite shape.
How can i retrieve data from MySQL database, and then draw that shapes on the JFrame ?

First, you should clarify what is, technically, the Points column (in other words, how those points are stored). Can you give an example?

Using JDBC it's normal/common stuff: obtaining a Connection, creating a Statement (or PreparedStatement), execute the SQL query and then iterate over the ResultSet. And while doing this last thing, you can create GeneralPath objects you can then use to draw the shapes.

What eventually (and at what level) are your doubts about JDBC?

Well, The points are stored in data-type of MEDIUM-TEXT, these examples of the points (coordinates)
458.41016 425.70843 427.74316 392.55343 403.93516 370.91243
399.48516 366.83843 398.54916 368.02743 397.41516 372.27043
394.75116 382.25643 392.96616 392.69543 391.09516 402.03043
390.35916 405.62343 389.79116 406.92443 392.62616 409.52743
406.00316 421.83343 442.19716 458.07143 444.89016 482.76843
431.76716 528.31343 393.39116 574.56743 350.22516 594.56743
316.63916 610.12643 278.88716 614.34043 242.18316 610.35243
232.12112,609.27843 228.38012 619.29143 238.47016 621.92243
274.01216 631.28543 320.32416 637.73643 356.57416 628.91043
420.03416 613.46343 456.48216 533.71643 457.61616 470.82943
all points have same Object-ID.
So, my question is How can i create GeneralPath objects to draw the shapes, I know there's a method curveTo() used to Add a curved segment, defined by three new points, to the path by drawing a Bézier curve, and How can i use all these points(coordinates) to draw curve on JFrame and i have so many others i need to combine all of them together based on Object-ID's ?
Thanks

Ok, it's not really the most practical/easy way to store points in a DB but .... there are no particular problems, just some intermediate steps to do.

1) Extracting the String value from the column:

String values = rs.getString("points");

2) Splitting the big string into many tokens. There are some possibilities, at least: split() of String or StringTokenizer.

e.g.

String[] valueTokens = values.split(" ");

3) Each token must be converted to a float or, better, double value. Use parseDouble() of Double to do this.

Now, at this point, there are various possibilities, depending on how you want to handle these values. And there is one question: in your other thread you have used:

path.moveTo(457.61616,470.82943 );

These 2 values seems the last two in the example you have posted. In other words, I don't know how all these values form points/curves. This is a thing you have to know (and eventually explain to us).

Well, I have a task to draw shapes beside each other based on Object-Id, these shapes are curves(Bezier Cubic Curve),they get those coordinates by using inkscape software to get vector graphics points(curves), to get that, the file wil be saved in .svg format which can open by any editor (such as notepad), this is an example of it

HTML Code:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" version="1.1">

  <path
     
     d="M 457.61616,470.82943 
	 
	 C 458.41016,425.70843 427.74316,392.55343 403.93516,370.91243 
	 C 399.48516,366.83843 398.54916,368.02743 397.41516,372.27043 
	 C 394.75116,382.25643 392.96616,392.69543 391.09516,402.03043

	 C 431.76716,528.31343 393.39116,574.56743 350.22516,594.56743 
	 C 316.63916,610.12643 278.88716,614.34043 242.18316,610.35243

</svg>

Then they stored these coordinates in MySQL database (and all other coordinates)in data-type of MEDIUM-TEXT, like the above format.
i hope my explanation to the matter is clear ?
What the help i want how to retrieve these coordinates from MySQL database to draw shapes on JFrame ?
