Plotting non overlapping adjacent rectangles

[cowboyrocks2009]

Hi,

I am trying to write a Java program to plot rectangles with different colors side by side non overlapping but unfortunately I am unable to do that as of now.
Suppose I want to create 3 rectangles:-
100 - 200
200 - 300
300 - 400

I want to have 3 rectangles non overlapping and adjacent to each other with 3 different colors. I am new to Java so don't know howto do that ?!
I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Here is my code:-

import java.awt.BasicStroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.FontMetrics;
import java.awt.GradientPaint;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.awt.geom.Arc2D;
import java.awt.geom.Ellipse2D;
import java.awt.geom.GeneralPath;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
import java.awt.geom.RoundRectangle2D;

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class RectApplet extends JApplet {

  public void init() {
    setBackground(Color.white);
    setForeground(Color.white);
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
        RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);

    g2.setPaint(Color.gray);
    int x = 40;
    int y = 50;
    g2.setPaint(Color.red);
    g2.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, 200, 50));
    // Trying to create a second rectangle which should be adjacent to the first one but its overlapping unfortunately
    g3.setPaint(Color.green);
    g3.fill(new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, 400, 50));

    g2.setPaint(Color.blue);
    g2.drawString("My Rectangle Plotter", x, 150);

  }

  public static void main(String s[]) {
    JFrame f = new JFrame("");
    f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
      public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
        System.exit(0);
      }
    });
    JApplet applet = new RectApplet();
    f.getContentPane().add("Center", applet);
    applet.init();
    f.pack();
    f.setSize(new Dimension(1000, 200));
    f.show();
  }
}

Thanks in advance

Set the color instead of the paint, i.e. g2.setColor( ... ) instead of g2.setPaint( ... ).

kind regards,

After making the change suggested, take note of the following

1.) You need to understand the co-ordinate system. All your rectangles are being drawn with the same value of x and y. That means they will overlap since their top corners coincide and they are being drawn in the same orientation. Better change the x value (increase it say by 100) before drawing the second rectagle.
2.) Do you want to make an applet or a Java application. Decide which you want and don't mix the two.
3.) Do not use deprecated methods. Use setVisible(true ) instead of show()
