CS 2121 Introduction to Java:
Programming Assignment 2

Introduction

There will be two classes defined in your applet. The FractalPanel class extends the JPanel class. It is the display area for drawing the fractal pattern. The FractalApplet class extends the JApplet class. This class contains the init() method, which lays out the components of the applet and establishes their communication with the fractal panel using event listeners.

Programming Assignment Steps

• Step 1 - Preliminary definitions of the FractalPanel and FractalAppletClasses.

• Step 2 - Drawing a part of a fractal.

• Step 3 - Adding controls for the fractal orientation and line length.

• Step 4 - Implementing behavior for the fractal controls.

• Step 5 - Adding more controls and drawing a complete fractal.

You should be prepared to demonstrate your applet at the beginning of the lab hour on the due date. After giving a demonstration, you should turn in copies of both FractalApplet.java and FractalPanel.java. Be sure that the course, assignment number, and your name appear as comments in both files, as you did for the first programming assignment.
