How to code a java picture?

I need a code with the following shapes:

Rectangle, Circle, Oval, Half-Oval, Horizontal Line.

Can you show me a sample of how this was done? I need to do this for a class of mine but I have no idea how to code in Java. All I have learned so far is html, and my time is too limited. We are using the program jcreator to compile the projects. Thanks.

There are a number of ways to do this. The solution depends on if you're wanting to use AWT, Graphics2D, JFC Swing, or even a non-standard library.

The shortest number of code lines would be using the AWT Graphics context but superior results are achieved via Graphics2D. We'll assume an AWT applet below:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class graphicsApplet extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(92, 13, 20, 76); // draw Rectangle
g.drawOval(100,100,40,40); // draw Circle
g.drawOval(100,100,30,20); // draw Oval
g.drawArc(30,140,40,20,0,180); // draw Half-Oval
g.drawLine(23, 20, 66, 20); // draw Horizontal Line
} }

Play around with the first two x/y numbers in each "draw" to position the shapes where you'd want them. I simply made up some coordinates and can only guess how you'd want these displayed (e.g. size, order, etc.).
