#11541 — Whats the error in my program-creating overlapping GOval objects using GraphicsProgram

I am trying to create three concentric circles of different color
using GraphicsProgram. However the circles never appear to be
concentric..they appear to be pushed off on the sides of each other as
if trying to show another dimension. I am simply creating and adding
the GOval objects. May be I am missing something. Is there a way to
set transparency of the circles?

Adding code below:

import acm.graphics.*;
import acm.program.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class Target extends GraphicsProgram {

    final static double radiusOuterCircle = 72.0;
    final static double radiusMiddleCircle = 47.0;
    final static double radiusInnerCircle = 22.0;


    public void run() {


        final double centerX = this.getWidth() / 2.0;
        final double centerY = this.getHeight() / 2.0;


        GOval g = makeCircle(centerX, centerY,radiusOuterCircle ,
Color.RED);
        add(g);


        g = makeCircle(centerX, centerY,radiusMiddleCircle ,
Color.WHITE);
        add(g);


        g = makeCircle(centerX, centerY,radiusInnerCircle ,
Color.RED);
        add(g);


    }



    private GOval makeCircle(double centerX, double centerY, double
radius, Color color)
    {

        GOval g = new GOval(centerX, centerY, radius, radius);
        g.setFillColor(color);
        g.setFilled(true);

        return g;

    }
}

Reread the GOval documentation.
<http://jtf.acm.org/javadoc/student/acm/graphics/GOval.html#GOval(double,%20double,%20double,%20double)>

I read the documentation. How do I create concentric circles? I am not
able to understand. I want to create sign like the sign of national
chain of stores "Target".

By drawing them in such a fashion that they have the same center.

Think about how you line them up given the documentation. What conditions 
would have to hold in the constructor arguments for the circles' centers to be 
the same? What algebraic transformation do you have to perform?

To put it another way: What data does the constructor require to position a 
circle in a particular place? What data do you have available at the point of 
the constructor call? What formula transforms the latter to the former?

It might help you to visualize the problem.
Attempt to place a GRect centered upon centerX, centerY.

You are right, there is a bug in my code. I am not sending the upper
left hand corner coordinates of the bounding rectangle in makeCircle()
in the call to GOval. These coordinates will vary for all three circle
because they have different radii. Thanks!

You probably have an uncaught overlapped circle exception.
