[peterkay1]

i am tyring to get a line to re-draw from where the mouse is clicked. the *** in my code is where i am trying to redraw the line but i cant find the right code to make it work. Thanks in advance for any help.

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;

public class MouseApplet extends Applet{

  public MouseApplet(){

    class MousePressListener implements MouseListener{

      public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event){
        int x = event.getX();
        int y = event.getY();
        ***
        repaint();
      }

      public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event){}
      public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event){}
      public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event){}
      public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event){}
    }

    MouseListener listener = new MousePressListener();
    addMouseListener(listener);
  }

  public void paint(Graphics g){
    Line2D.Double jimsline = new Line2D.Double(x,y,x2,y2);
    Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g;
    g2.draw(jimsline);
  }

  private Line2D.Double jimsline;
  private static final int x = 100;
  private static final int y = 100;
  private static final int x2 = 20;
  private static final int y2 = 30;
}

I'm assuming that you're trying to overwrite the x and y class values in the following code:

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent event){
  int x = event.getX();
  int y = event.getY();
  ...

However, you're not doing this as you've declared these 'x' and 'y' variables, thereby making them *local* variables. Also you class variables 'x' and 'y' are declared as final:

private static final int x = 100;
private static final int y = 100;

Lastly, I would suggest you make 'MousePressListener' extend 'MouseAdapter', that way you don't need to declare all those unused methods:

public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent event){}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent event){}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent event){}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent event){}
