Java, Using GregorianCalendar to create a graphics clock????

Question

I set up GregorianCalendar so that I have two methods, minute, and hour. I have also created a Graphics 2D program that looks like a clock with an hour hand and minute hand. How do I get the hour hand and minute hand to move to the corrrect area on the clock without writing 72 if statements? Is their a way to use angles somehow? (I used drawString to draw the minute and hour hands.) Thanks

Answer 1

Yes, there is a great example using angles, and best of all, it came with the JDK (since 1.0, I think...).

Go to where you installed the JDK and look for the demo directory. Specifically, look for jdk***/demo/applets/clock
