  1. Hey there, I have made an applet that shows images moving about the screen. I have pause/resume buttons that work. But i've noticed that when the applet is interuppted by something i.e moving another window over it, it will automatically repaint.My question is how can I stop this? How can I make it so that the only time that paint is called is when I want it to be called?Thanks in advance!
  2. There seems to be a problem (Well not really a probelm just an unexpected outcome). In the formular X(t) = x + r * cos(t*2*PI), x does not seem to be the central point rather x + r is the radius of the circle from point 0,0. But this is easily overcome by simply adding the value given by the forumla to the X and Y values of the centre point. Just thought i'd clear that up if anyone were to stumble across this.EDIT: perhaps a better way to explain woul be to say X(t) = [r * cos(*t*2*PI)] + x; Where x is the centre point's x coordinate.
  3. Thanks a bunch Alex! This is exavtly what I have been searching for. Hopefully ill be able to post the results at a later stage. Kind Regards, Rod
  4. Thanks for this Alex, its really helpful! Just to clarrify... x would be the x coord of the fixed point? Also t = 1 is the same as one full journey of the circle? Thanks again! Rod
  5. Hey there guys! How would i go about making an object move about a fixed point for a java applet?Thanks in advance guys!Regards, Rod
  6. Hi there. I am a brand new member to this superb website and very annoyingly my first post must be a question.I am a university student and im planning my final year project. Its going to be a model of the solar system. I have to model the entire solar system with the sun, planetary orbits, distances etc. I also have to produce computer generated images of the planets and the sun.Im wondering what program language you would recommend. I am an experienced java programmer but I have never touched upon Java3D and I know even less about the GLUT. However from my reseach these are the two most likely languages I could use.Thanks in advanceRoders1234
