java drawing a circle when mouse clicked

Question

i am writing a program that when the mouse is clicked, a circle will be drawn. The below code i've wrote so far.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;

public class test extends JFrame implements ActionListener, MouseListener {
    Shape circle = new Ellipse2D.Float(10, 10, 10, 10);

    public test () {
        setSize(250,150);
        addMouseListener(this);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //TODO code application logic here
        java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
              public void run() {
                   test frame = new test();
                   frame.setVisible(true);
              }
        });
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {

    }

    public void drawCircle(int x, int y) {
        Graphics g = this.getGraphics();
        g.drawOval(x, y, x, y);
        g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        g.fillOval(x, y, 2, 2);
    }

    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        drawCircle(e.getX(), e.getY());
        repaint();
    }

    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {

    }

    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {

    }

    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {

    }

    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {

    }
}

The code is a 400X400 jframe, when clicked open display a circle at a half seconds, The problem is that, when i release the mouse, the circle disappear. why?

Answer 1

Change your mouseClick(...) to:

int x, y;

public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
    x = e.getX();
    y = e.getY();

    repaint();
}

Override paint(...):

@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
    drawCircle(x, y);
}
