Drawing text on screen
Im not very good at drawing but how would i draw a rectangle then draw on that a smaller rectangle in a different color and then draw text in the middle of that?
please help
If you want to print it on the background you have to call the background out of the world class and then draw something on it using the methods from the GreenfootImage class.
If you want different colors you should import java.awt.Color; There you can find many different static colors you can use.
If you want to write something on the screen you should also import java.awt.Font; because the default font if very small.
Actually, you only need to import java.awt.Color to accomplish this.
It is not neccessary to declare all the values before using them. The following is basically the same code with the values hard-coded within the making of the image (and simplified) and produces the exact same image as the code, as it is, above:
// additional imports import java.awt.Color; // drawing your image int fontSize = 24; // whatever size Color textColor = new Color(0, 255, 128); // whatever color String text = "Text to display"; // whatever text GreenfootImage textImage = new GreenfootImage(text, fontSize, textColor, new Color(0, 0, 0, 0)); GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage(textImage.getWidth()+fontSize/2, textImage.getHeight()+fontSize/2); Color outerColor = new Color(196, 196, 0); // whatever color image.setColor(outerColor); image.fill(); Color innerColor = new Color(0, 0, 196); // whatever color image.seColor(innerColor); image.fillRect(fontSize/8, fontSize/8, image.getWidth()-fontSize/4, image.getHeight()-fontSize/4); image.drawImage(textImage, (image.getWidth()-textImage.getWidth())/2, (image.getHeight()-textImage.getHeight())/2);
GreenfootImage textImage = new GreenfootImage("Text to display", 24, new Color(0, 255, 128), new Color(0, 0, 0, 0));
GreenfootImage image = new GreenfootImage(textImage.getWidth()+12, 36);
image.setColor(new Color(196, 196, 0));
image.fill();
image.setColor(new Color(0, 0, 196));
image.fillRect(3, 3, image.getWidth()-6, 30);
image.drawImage(textImage, 6, 6);
Maybe you should review what the code does and try to get an understanding of what is involved (from the API, mathematical, and procedural perspectives).
