i want to draw an equilateral sierpinski triangle.

[Praise Onwuachu]

i want my triangle to be equivalent and not isoceles. i need help with this code.



[code]
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;


public class Triangle

{

/**make a new Triangle*/

public Triangle()

{
Frame f = new Frame(" MCS GroupX CHAOS GAME ");
f.setBackground(Color.pink);

//add STPane to frame

f.add(new STPane());


f.pack();


f.setVisible(true);

}



public static void main(String[] args){

//make a new frame

new Triangle();

}

}



// Point class holds a 2 dimentional integer point.



class Point {

//two portions of the point

int x,y;

//default constructor does nothing

public Point(){}

//constructor that takes two arguments

public Point(int nx,int ny){

x=nx;

y=ny;

}

}


//class that computes and displays the Triangle


class STPane extends JComponent {

//holds the initial triangle

Point[] triangle = new Point[3];

//first point

Point fp;

//current point

Point cp=new Point();

//default constructor simply sets the original size

public STPane(){

this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500,500));

}

//simple method to ge a 0-2 range random number to select a new point

public int rand0to2(){

return (int)(Math.random() * 3);

}

//paint the points of the chaos

public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(Color.black);



//get the current size of the component

Dimension d = super.getSize();



//make triangle from the size of the

//component for the original points

triangle[0] = new Point((int)d.getWidth()/2,0);

triangle[1] = new Point(0,(int)d.getHeight());

triangle[2] = new Point((int)d.getWidth(),(int)d.getHeight());



//get an arbitrary point in the middle of the screen somewhere

fp=new Point((int)(Math.random()*d.getWidth()),(int)(Math.random()*d.getHeight()/2));



//get a random triangle point

Point p = triangle[rand0to2()];

//get the first current point by going half way from the first

//point to the chosen triangle point

cp.x=(p.x+fp.x)/2;

cp.y=(p.y+fp.y)/2;



//draw the first point

g.drawRect(cp.x,cp.y,0,0);



}

}

}

Also, please Use Code Tags in the future. Although that won't make any difference if you don't indent your code at all...

am doing that now.
thanks.

1) You really don't want to place a JComponent on a Frame, trust me. Put it in a JFrame.
2) To set the triangle as equilateral, calculate the height vs base of an equilateral triangle (any basic geometry text will tell you, something about sqrt(3)/2), and use these numbers to set your preferred size of the jcomponent.

Nope.
Still not good.
Please read Bear's message very carefully.
