:confused:
Hi

I was trying to draw a parent oval, and three other oval that are children to the parent oval.

The class called Goal is used to declare the format of the new goal, the problem or what I don't understand it; the paint() method in the main class passes the object to the Goal class's drawOval() method, how do I represent that object in the drawOval() method so the g2.draw understand what shape it is my to draw?

I've tried;
Ellipse2D.Double goal1 = new Ellipse2D.Double(400, 100, 120, 80);
g2.draw(goal1);
I know it is not correct, because placed the values there. I need the Ellipse shape to relate to the goal added to the ArrayList()

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Main extends JFrame implements MouseListener{
Container con = getContentPane();
ArrayList allOvals;
Goal parentOval;
String goalName ="CG1";
int x = 500, y = 100;

public Main() {
super.setTitle("Drawing Goal Hierarchy");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
con.addMouseListener(this);
allOvals = new ArrayList();
parentOval = null;
Goal newGoal = new Goal(goalName, 500, 100, parentOval);
allOvals.add(0, newGoal);
parentOval = newGoal;

}


public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){

Goal goal1 = new Goal("Test", x + 500, y + 200); // new goal that is not a parent
//allOvals.add(1, goal1);

repaint();
}

public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){


}

goal.drawGoal(g2);

P.S. It wont post like a java code, so no indents are shown
