Im alright with java and have a fairly good understanding also but im stuck on a project im working on.. Im aattempting to move a JTextField to the left hand side of the screen but no matter what i try it stays centered at the top.. here is my code:
public class Display extends JFrame{
public static final int CANVAS_WIDTH = 1000;
public static final int CANVAS_HEIGHT = 450;
public static final Color LINE_COLOR = Color.BLACK;
public static final Color GROUND_COLOR = Color.GREEN;
public static final Color CANVAS_BACKGROUND = Color.CYAN;
public static final Color TRANS = Color.CYAN;
private int x1 = CANVAS_WIDTH / 2;
private int y1 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
private int x2 = CANVAS_WIDTH /2;
private int y2 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
private int Sx1 = CANVAS_WIDTH ;
private int Sy1 = CANVAS_HEIGHT ;
private int Sy2 = CANVAS_HEIGHT ;
private int Rx1 = CANVAS_WIDTH - CANVAS_WIDTH;
private int Ry1 = CANVAS_HEIGHT;
private int Rx2 = CANVAS_WIDTH;
private int Ry2 = CANVAS_HEIGHT ;
private int Lx1 = CANVAS_WIDTH / 2;
private int Ly1 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
private int Lx2 = CANVAS_WIDTH / 2;
private int Ly2 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
private int Mx1 = CANVAS_WIDTH / 2;
private int My1 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
private int Mx2 = CANVAS_WIDTH / 2;
private int My2 = CANVAS_HEIGHT / 2;
int[] xs = {380, 460, 460, 540, 540, 620, 500, 380};
