    What are the values that you get and what are the values that you expect?

    My width and height have values of 250 and 300 respectively but if I use co-ordinates (0,0,width,height). It draws the fan from the top left and if I use co-ordinate (0,height,width,0 ) it draws the fan from the top right I would like to know what co-ordinates to use to enable it draw the fan from the bottom right corner

    Post the statements that you are using to draw the lines.
    What args to the draw method specify the starting point and what specify the ending point for the line?

    What are the x,y values for the bottom right corner?

    The posted code is completely unreadable the way it is posted.
    When posting code Please wrap your code with code tags:
    [code=java]
    YOUR CODE HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Something is wrong with the code that is posted. It has lost all of its formatting.

    You didn't answer this question:
    What are the x,y values for the bottom right corner?

    I've tried using this but it keeps on drawing. From the top left.
                                       super.paintComponent(g);                                                        int width =getWidth().                                             int height=getHeight.                            g.drawLine(width,height,0,0) ;

    Something is wrong with the formatting of the code in the post.

    Can you answer this simple question:
    What are the x,y values for the bottom right corner?

    it keeps on drawing. From the top left.
    How can you tell that?

    Strange that you think the x,y values for the lower right corner is 0,0.
    That looks like the coordinates for the upper left corner.

    To see what the coordinates are for any of the corners of a rectangle, draw a rectangle on a piece of paper and label each of the corners with their coordinates.
    Java has the top side be at y=0 and the left side be x=0. The y values increase going down and the x values increase going to the right.

    Can you make a list of the 4 corners and give the x,y values for each. Here is the first of 4:
    Upperleft: 0,0

    What are the coordinates for the other 3?

    Upper right :width,0
    bottom left:0,height,
    bottom right:width,height
    There are no negative values:
    Java has the top side be at y=0 and the left side be x=0. The y values increase going down and the x values increase going to the right.

    Default Re: drawing a several lines from d bottom right corner of a JFrame

    But even when I specify the starting point as width,height and the end point as 0,0 it still ends up drawing the lines from the top left

    --- Update ---

    /*I used*/ g.drawLine(width,height,0,0); width-=15; height+=20;

    --- Update ---

    And I placed it all in a for loop

    --- Update ---

    But it ends up drawing the lines from the top left corner

    If you want all the lines to start at the point at the location x=width and y=height, why is the code changing the values of width and height?
    They shouldn't be changed if you want all the lines to start at the same location.
    The code should change the location of the second point (the one that starts at 0,0)
