CP2003 - Tutorial Seven: GUI's - A New Hope

1. Write a Java application that opens a JFrame with the following properties:
   • The JFrame can be closed properly.

   • Firstly, modify the code in OlympicDraw.java try to draw the following (all too familiar) image:
     

   • Optional: Add colour to the rings so that they are the same colour as the Olympic rings (I think they're blue, black, red, yellow and green). Setting the drawing colour is done using the "setColor" function, so a command like gr.setColor(new Color(255, 0, 0)); will set the drawing colour to red.

2. Alter your code so that:
   • The upper part of the JFrame consists of a drawing area with a circle in it.

   • The lower part of the JFrame has two buttons labelled "LEFT" and "RIGHT" in it. If the user presses the "LEFT" button the circle moves to the left (initially the circle is in the middle position) and similarly for the "RIGHT" button.

     So far, it should look "something" like this (I've added zoom buttons):

     

   • Optional: extend the above such that you can perform the left and right functions (and exit) via a menu.
