Resizing Applet

[Randy Helene]

I am drawing a solid T in an applet. I need to resize the T proportionately if the applet window is resized. I have a formula to do it but it is not working, and I don't know what I am doing wrong. This is the code I have. Can you help please. Thank you.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Color;
public class PolygonDemo extends Applet {
public void paint (Graphics g) {
int xpoints[] = {30, 240, 240, 150, 150, 120, 120, 30 };
int ypoints[] = {30, 30, 60, 60, 190, 190, 60, 60 };
int num = 8;
int HN = getHeight();
int WN = getWidth();
int y_new=0;
int x_new=0;
int i,j;
Color red=new Color(255,55,100);
g.setColor(red);
g.fillPolygon(xpoints, ypoints, num);
for (i=0; i<8; i++){
for (j=0; j<8; j++)
y_new=(HN/500)*ypoints[i];
x_new=(WN/300)*xpoints[j];
}
}
}
The 500 and 300 are the height and width I have defined in the HTML file.

This is more appropriate for the Applets forum - so I will move it there.

You were close. Here's the revised version that works. The key is to establish the change ratio between rounds of resize, and then reset your polygon coordinates accordingly:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Color;
public class JavaA extends Applet {
Dimension originalDimension;
double Yratio;
double Xratio;
int[] xpoints = new int[] {30, 240, 240, 150, 150, 120, 120, 30 };
int[] ypoints = new int[] {30, 30, 60, 60, 190, 190, 60, 60 };
public void init () {
originalDimension = getSize();
}
public void paint (Graphics g) {
Color red=new Color(255,55,100);
g.setColor(red);
Dimension resizedDimension = getSize();
if (resizedDimension.height == 0) resizedDimension.height = 1;
if (resizedDimension.width == 0) resizedDimension.width = 1;
Yratio = resizedDimension.height;
Xratio = resizedDimension.width;
Yratio /= originalDimension.height;
Xratio /= originalDimension.width;
for (int i = 0; i < xpoints.length; i++) {
xpoints[i] = (int) (Xratio * xpoints[i]);
ypoints[i] = (int) (Yratio * ypoints[i]);
}
g.fillPolygon(xpoints, ypoints, xpoints.length);
//save dimension for next round of resize calculation
originalDimension.width = resizedDimension.width;
originalDimension.height = resizedDimension.height;
}
}

Thank you for your help. This board is great and I am really learning a lot.
