    Cool [SOLVED] Need help with fillArc()

    I want to create some sort of progress circle like this:
    (I made these in paint, not in java)

    25%


    75%


    How would i do this with fillArc()?


    What i already have:
    I draw the background:
    		g.drawOval(0, 0, 100, 100);
    I can fill half the oval:
    		g.fillArc(0, 0, 100, 100, 0, -180);


    How fillArc works:
    fillArc(x, y, width, height, startAngle, angle);
    - 3 o'clock is 0°
    - positive values go clockwise, negative values go counter clockwise


    Thanks, Dunnkers.

    1) Fill a complete oval
    2) Fill a rectangle (color set to background) covering the percentage of the oval you wish to cover based upon progress.
    3) Stroke the oval

    Let's say the percentage is 25%

    Thanks for your reply

    Read the API for Graphics, in particular the *Oval methods

    I gave you step by step instructions above...you have to tell us what exactly you don't understand about them for anyone to help you further, or better yet give it a try, read the API for Graphics and look for useful methods, and post some code demonstrating what you've attempted and what the problem is.

    Okay, sorry for my un-constructive post.

    What i managed to do:
    (The picture is taken from a java applet)



    				int x = 10, y = 10;
    				int width = 100, height = 100;
     
    				g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    				g.drawRect(x, y, width, height);
     
    				g.setColor(setAlpha(Color.RED, 150));
    				g.fillOval(x, y, width, height);
     
    				//the calculations of the arc start here
    				int x_ = (int) (x+((width*0.25)/2));
    				int y_ = y+height_;
    				int width_ = width-((x_-x)*2);
    				int height_ = (int) (height*(0.25*2));
     
    				g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    				g.drawRect(x_, y_, width_, height_);
     
    				g.setColor(setAlpha(Color.GREEN, 150));
    				g.fillArc(x_, y_, width_, height_, 0, -180);

    The problem: It doesn't yet fit perfectly. The missing calculation. I don't how.

    Well then, good for you that you found an answer, bad for you that you were spoonfed, and bad for me that I wasted my time trying to help you. Thanks for that. Perhaps you should read: The problems with crossposting...and for what its worth, that solution is beyond overkill

    I read and i understand now. I will not crosspost anymore.
    I thought i'd get an answer sooner, but actually the time explaining mutliple people the same problem, cost me more time.

    Thanks for your help though, copeg.
