Thread: help me draw a triangle....

so here is my code, i have to draw an entire scene but i figure if someone can show me how to add a triangle so that it prints out WITH the code provided, then i will be able to continue from there:

 
 
import acm.graphics.*; // The graphics objects
import acm.program.*; // Provides program structure for the objects
import java.awt.*; // This gives us colors
 
 
public class car extends GraphicsProgram {
	/**
	 * magic ACM library stuff. When you call start, it calls run in your class.
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    new car().start(args);
	}
	/**
	 * Build the car and make it move
	 */
	public void run() {
	    body camero = new body();
	    // Move it 10 times 
	    for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
	    	pause(1000);
	    	camero.move(20, 50);
	    }
 
	}
	/**
	 * The body also has wheels
	 * @author clement
	 *
	 */
	class body {
		private GRect rect;
		private wheel rightWheel, leftWheel;
		/**
		 * Create a rectangle for the body and two wheels
		 */
		body() {
			rect = new GRect(100, 100, 100, 50);
			rect.setFilled(true);
		    rect.setColor(Color.RED);
		    add(rect);
		    rightWheel = new wheel(115,150);
		    leftWheel = new wheel(175,150);
		}
		/**
		 * move the body in the x and y direction
		 * @param xdir
		 * @param ydir
		 */
		void move(int xdir, int ydir) {
			rect.move(xdir, ydir);
			rightWheel.move(xdir, ydir);
			leftWheel.move(xdir, ydir);
		}
 
	}
 
	class wheel {
		private GOval circle;
		/**
		 * Create a wheel with x and y coordinates of the upper left corner
		 * @param xval
		 * @param yval
		 */
		wheel(int xval, int yval) {
			circle = new GOval(xval, yval, 20, 20);
			circle.setFilled(true);
		    circle.setColor(Color.BLUE); // We like blue wheels
		    add(circle);
		}
		/**
		 * Move the wheel in the given direction
		 * @param xdir
		 * @param ydir
		 */
		void move(int xdir, int ydir){
			circle.move(xdir, ydir);
		}
	}
}

please show where and how to insert a triangle so that it will print out with this code (doesnt matter where or how big the triangle is because im going to probably move and resize it anyway)

yeah thats right. i posted it there first but didnt even get 1 person to look at my post.... let alone a reply. i just joined that forum today so i didnt know what to expect from that site. so instead of posting your rude reply, go ahead and post a question as to why i did so.

The only reason you would find my reply rude is if you knew it was wrong to cross post without referring to the other post.

So if you know it's wrong, why did you do it?

go ahead and post a question as to why i did so.

Quite frankly, I'm not interested.

look, im just trying to get some help, so if youre not the one to do that, then please leave my thread and stop posting here

Um, no.

okay Darryl, since you refuse to leave, maybe you can help me.... do you know how to add a triangle to my code? and if so can you please show me

beandip, cross-posting is not against the rules of this forum, but providing links to the other forums you have posted in helps others know about the whole discussion going on - for instance the library you use in your code which I had a question about is key to your question - without knowing about your other post I would be asking the same questions already answered in the that forum, rehashing the same issues and in effect, wasting both of our time. So I encourage you, should you cross post, to provide links to other forums you have posted in to minimize the redundant questions. That all being said, I would presume many people are unfamiliar with this library so your question may be best answered by reading some of the API and tutorials on that site, for example:
Chapter 2. Using the acm.graphics Package, most notable the polygon class.

thanks for the help everyone... here is my final code (not pretty but it works.
