I am having a problem with a school project in Which I create a Polygon that when I insert points the polygon update after the insertion of every point.

For example

My program:

The result I want:

What I understood is that to make it look like the result, remove the link between Point3 and Point1 and the new one will be between Point4 and Point1. If this is the solution I don't know what to add to my code to fix it.

CodePudding user response：

Don't use paintComponent to build the shapes, this is not what paintComponent is for.

I would use Path2D (over Polygon) as you add new points to Path2D in a much easier way.

The following is a simple example, it uses two Path2D instances to track the shape. The first is an "open" path, which we keep adding points to, the second is a "closed" copy of the first. This is intentional, as if you close the shape after each click, it will just draw lines extending from the first click point.

This is focused example, solving just the one problem and you're going to need to modify you code to fit it. I would, on each mouse click, be making determinations about what type of shape you are trying to create and create a "intermediate", which can be painted, until the user "commits" the changes, at which time the shape would be added to the List, but that's me
