EXPO CLASS VERSION 12/19/2008 Leon and John Schram The concept and implementation of the original set

of Expo class methods was created by John L. M. Schram (the Son), who is called John Schram. The Expo class was created to teach programming skills to students in introductory computer science courses. Use of the Expo class eliminates many program steps that are tedious and frustrating for beginning students. Program input is simplified and graphics commands are more intuitive. Many additional graphics commands are added to allow for interesting displays with minimal effort. Since the creation of the initial bulk of the Expo class, John L. A. Schram (the father), who is called Leon Schram, has added some additional methods. Both John Schram and Leon Schram are computer science teachers at John Paul II High School in Plano, Texas. 1 2 3 4 5 center(java.lang.String str) Displays centered text on an 80 column text screen. cube(double number) Returns the "cube" of number, which is number raised to the 3rd power. cubeRoot(double number) Returns the cubeRoot (3rd root) of number. delay(int n) Pauses the output for a specified number of milliseconds (1/1000ths of a second).

displayGUI(boolean temp) Displays a boolean (true or false) value in a GUI window. The window will stay on the screen until the user clicks "OK". 6 7 displayGUI(char temp) Displays a char in a GUI window. The window will stay on the screen until the user clicks "OK".

displayGUI(double temp) Displays a double (real number) in a GUI window. The window will stay on the screen until the user clicks "OK". 8 9 displayGUI(int temp) Displays an int (integer) in a GUI window. The window will stay on the screen until the user clicks "OK". displayGUI(java.lang.String text) Displays a String in a GUI window. The window will stay on the screen until the user clicks "OK".

10 drawArc(java.awt.Graphics g, int centerX, int centerY, int hRadius, int vRadius, int start, int finish) Draws and arc which looks like a curve. An ARC is a "piece" of an OVAL. The first 5 parameters (g and 4 ints) are the same as drawOval. There are 2 additional parameters for the starting degree value and finishing degree of the arc. 11 drawBurst(java.awt.Graphics g, int centerX, int centerY, int radius, int numLines) Draws a certain number of lines (numLines) in a burst like pattern. The lines are evenly spaced and drawn from the center of a circle to its edge. The size of the circle is specified by the radius parameter. 12 drawCircle(java.awt.Graphics g, int centerX, int centerY, int radius) Draws an open circle. The user specifies the x,y coordinate of the center of the circle as well as the radius value. /var/www/apps/conversion/current/tmp/scratch29885/89529463.doc Page 1
