How to draw heart using java awt libaray?

Question

How to draw heart using java awt libaray? I am using Java AWT Libaray and I need to draw a heart for my game. How can I do this using AWT?

Here what I was thinking: may be use g.fillArc() ? but then if I make two curves at top than how to make a triangle at button? Would that be g.fillPolygon() ?

g.fillArc(x, y, 20,20, 60, 60); //so this will be left curve

g.fillArc(x+20, y, 20,20, 60, 60); //so right curve?

//button triangle?

I was wondering if any one is experence in awt and could show me how to do this?

Answer 1

Had to write this code for something I'm doing and it works well enough. Draws a triangle at x and y with the specified width and height using graphics g.

// Draw a heart.
public void drawHeart(Graphics g, int x, int y, int width, int height) {
    int[] triangleX = {
            x - 2*width/18,
            x + width + 2*width/18,
            (x - 2*width/18 + x + width + 2*width/18)/2};
    int[] triangleY = { 
            y + height - 2*height/3, 
            y + height - 2*height/3, 
            y + height };
    g.fillOval(
            x - width/12,
            y, 
            width/2 + width/6, 
            height/2); 
    g.fillOval(
            x + width/2 - width/12,
            y,
            width/2 + width/6,
            height/2);
    g.fillPolygon(triangleX, triangleY, triangleX.length);
}

//You don't really need AWT in Heart drawing here ://

public static void main(String[] args) {
       int H=7,W=7;
       for(int i=2;i<=(H+1)/2;i++){

      for(int j=0;j<W/2-i;j++){
        System.out.print(" ");
       }
    for(int k=1;k<(i+1)*2+1;k++){
    System.out.print("*");
    }

    if(i==2){
    System.out.print(" ");
    }

    for(int j=0;j<W/2-i+1;j++){
    System.out.print(" ");
    }

    for(int k=1;k<(i+1)*2+1;k++){
    if(i==(H+1)/2&&k>i+3)
    System.out.print("");
    else
    System.out.print("*");
    }
    System.out.println();

    }
    int HH=17,WW=17;
    for(int i=1;i<=HH/2;i++){

    for(int j=1;j<=i;j++){
    System.out.print(" ");
    }
    int z=WW-2*i;
    for(int k=1;k<=z;k++){
    System.out.print("*");
    }
    System.out.println();
 }
}

}
