How to fill a color with a triangle

Question

I draw a triangle using a string. How can I fill the color? So far I can only succeed with color, but not fill the color.

public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
        super.paintComponents(g);
        int k=0;
        for (j=0 ; j < numOfLines; j++){    // the values of numOfLines retrieved from other method.
        g.setColor(Color.green);
        g.drawLine(x[k], x[k+1], x[k+2], x[k+3]);
        k = k+4;  //index files
        }

Answer 1

Make Polygonfrom the vertices and fill instead, calling fillPolygon(...):

// A simple triangle.
x[0]=100; x[1]=150; x[2]=50;
y[0]=100; y[1]=150; y[2]=150;
n = 3;

Polygon p = new Polygon(x, y, n);  // This polygon represents a triangle with the above
                                   //   vertices.

g.fillPolygon(p);     // Fills the triangle above.

You need to specify the vertices of your polygon (in this case, a triangle) and go to fillPolygon():

  public void paint(Graphics g) 
  {
    int xpoints[] = {25, 145, 25, 145, 25};
    int ypoints[] = {25, 25, 145, 145, 25};
    int npoints = 5;

    g.fillPolygon(xpoints, ypoints, npoints);
  }
