Is there a way to make a constructor that draws a rectangle

My partner and I are trying to remake Tetris for our final project of the year in my Computer Science class we currently have a for loop that draws individual rectangles in an overwritten paint method.
private final int spacer = 30;
public int getSpacer()
{
return spacer;
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
setBackground(Color.GRAY);
for(int i = getHeight()/2 - (spacer * 10); i < getHeight()/2 + (spacer * 10); i += spacer) {
for(int x = getWidth()/2 - (spacer * 5); x < getWidth()/2 + (spacer * 5); x += (spacer)) {
g.drawRect(x, i, (spacer), (spacer));
}
}
setForeground(Color.black);
}
The method basically takes the width and height of the window and makes a 10 x 20 grid of boxes that are 30 units, pixels I think, wide.
We'd like to make a Grid.java class that takes in color, the spacer int, and an x and y int. The constructor for Grid.java should draw the exact same thing as the code above using the for loop, but when we tried it gave us a white screen that would not resize with the window.
private final int spacer = 30;
private static Grid[][] arr = new Grid[10][20];
public int getSpacer()
{
return spacer;
}
public void paint(Graphics g) {
setBackground(Color.GRAY);
int countY = 0;
int countX = 0;
for(int y = getHeight()/2 - (spacer * 10); y < getHeight()/2 + (spacer * 10); y += spacer) {
for(int x = getWidth()/2 - (spacer * 5); x < getWidth()/2 + (spacer * 5); x += spacer) {
arr[countX][countY] = new Grid(x, y, spacer, g);
countX++;
}
countY++;
}
setForeground(Color.black);
}
*Grid.java Class*
package Tetris_Shapes;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Grid {
private int x;
private int y;
private int side;
private Graphics g;
public Grid(int x, int y, int side, Graphics g) {
// g.drawRect(x, y, spacer, spacer);
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.side = side;
this.g = g;
paint(this.g);
}
private void paint(Graphics g) {
g.drawRect(x, y, side, side);
}
}
When we try and run this we get the white box that doesn't resize. My question is does anyone know of a way to get a constructor to draw shapes. Thank you in advance, this is pretty niche so I'm also going to apologize in advance.

Drawing a Line - Maximum Point

I drew a line that is at an angle based on a slider.
I am trying to make the line's end Y coordinate a certain number (let's say 300), even if it is at an angle.
Any ideas on how to do this? Here is the work on my line so far:
double angle = intAngle;
angle = angle * Math.PI / 180;
double length = 300;
graphics.setColor(Color.RED);
double startX = 300;
double startY = 100;
double endX = startX + length * Math.cos(angle);
double endY = startY + length * Math.sin(angle);
double end2X;
double end2Y;
double dblAngle;
double angle2;
int intAngle2;
double start2X = endX;
double start2Y = endY;
intAngle2 = 180 - intAngle;
angle2 = intAngle2;
angle2 = (angle2 * Math.PI / 180);
end2X = (start2X - length * Math.cos(angle2));
end2Y = (start2Y - length * Math.sin(angle2));
int intEndX = (int)endX;
int intEndY = (int)endY;
if(blnButton == true){
graphics.draw(new Line2D.Double(startX, startY, endX, endY));
graphics.draw(new Line2D.Double(start2X, start2Y, end2X, end2Y));
}

There's probably a simpler way, but basically, you can calculate two points on a circle based on the angle and the inverse of the angle (angle - 360)
With a circle with a radius of 150, this will give you a line of 300, for example
The red line is the line from the center of the circle to point on the circle represented by the given angel. The blue is the inverse. Each line is 150 pixels line, meaning together, they are 300 pixels in length.
This examples draws the separately, but realistically, they could be draw as a single line

How does Affine Transform works in this code?

The following code works correctly, but I'm having trouble understanding some of the details. Can somebody help me understand how the AffineTransform is working to rotate the image?
package pks;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class rotate {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new rotate();
}
public rotate() {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
final RotationPane rotationPane = new RotationPane(); // initilize object of RotationPane class
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(rotationPane);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
public class RotationPane extends JPanel {
private BufferedImage img;
private BufferedImage rotated;
private double angle;
public RotationPane() {
try {
img = ImageIO.read(new File("C:\\Users\\pardeep\\Desktop\\tomb1.jpg")); // path of the image to be rotated
setAngle(45);
}
catch (IOException ex) {
}
}
public void setAngle(double angle) {
this.angle = angle;
// Using Affine transform we will calculate the new values
//x=vcos (theta)+wsin(theta)
//y=vcos(theta)+ wsin(theta)
double rads = Math.toRadians(angle); // calculating angle in radian
double sin = Math.abs(Math.sin(rads)), //calculating sin theta
cos = Math.abs(Math.cos(rads)); // calculating cos theta
int w = img.getWidth();
int h = img.getHeight();
int newWidth = (int) Math.floor(w * cos + h * sin); //using affine transform
int newHeight = (int) Math.floor(h * cos + w * sin);
rotated = new BufferedImage(newWidth, newHeight, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Graphics2D g2d = rotated.createGraphics(); //rotating planes.....
AffineTransform plane = new AffineTransform();
plane.translate((newWidth - w) / 2, (newHeight - h) / 2);
int x=w/2;
int y=h/2;
plane.rotate(Math.toRadians(45), x, y);
g2d.setTransform(plane);
g2d.drawImage(img, 0, 0, this);
}
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(800, // setting the window size
800);
}
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
// super.paintComponent(g); no need for it
if (rotated != null) { // drawing image on 2 dimentional size surface
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create();
int x = (getWidth() - rotated.getWidth()) / 2;
int y = (getHeight() - rotated.getHeight()) / 2;
g2d.drawImage(rotated, x, y, this); // overriding the method......
}
}
}
}

What exactly don't you understand? plane.rotate(Math.toRadians(45), x, y); rotates the image around the center point clockwise by 45 degrees. plane.translate((newWidth - w) / 2, (newHeight - h) / 2); is the same as plane.translate(newWidth/2 - w/2, newHeight/2 - h/2); so it calculates the difference between the new center and the old center and moves the entire picture by that difference.
I should mention that AffineTransform applies the transformations in the opposite order.
So if you write this
plane.translate((newWidth - w) / 2, (newHeight - h) / 2);
int x=w/2;
int y=h/2;
plane.rotate(Math.toRadians(45), x, y);
Then every pixel of of the image is first rotated by 45 degrees clockwise and then shifted, not the other way around. It's done this way because the transformations are supposed to be applied to the coordinate system. Applying transformation A followed by tranformation B to the coordinate system is mathematically equivalent to applying B followed by A to the pixels of the image.

Having trouble displaying balls in the right position using Java and vector objects

I'm having issues with the balls that I display in my JFrame window. Here's the main idea of my application:
Point object (with coordinates x and y) --> Vector object (a class I wrote that has the x and y components of a vector, as well as a few methods... gets its location and head/tail points from the Point object) --> Ball object (the position, velocity, and acceleration vectors are collected in an ArrayList, also has radius and color attributes) --> ContainerBox object (contains the balls, defines the min/max x and y for collision detection purposes).
I'm working toward having one ball centered in the window and the other orbiting the first, but right now I'm just trying to get my objects to play nicely. I'm very new to OOP principles and this is the first time I've written a program using classes in this way.
Everything works perfectly, the JFrame comes up and displays the balls... the problem is that the balls won't show up in the right places. No matter what I put in for the x and y coordinates of the balls (either explicitly or using the objects), they always show up in the upper left-hand corner of the screen. Here's a pic of what I get: Picture Here
I don't know whether it's the vectors or the collision detection or what... any ideas? Thanks a lot for reading and replying!
EDIT: Here's some of the code that I'm using (sorry to put so much, I have no idea where the problem is):
EDIT AGAIN: Added the ball class that I forgot.

In the constructor of your Ball class, you don't assign all the instance variables to their parameters, these need to be added.
public Ball(float x, float y, float velX, float velY, float accelX, float accelY, float radius, Color color) {
...
this.x = x;

Link Two Oval In java

import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Panneau extends JPanel {
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){

g.setColor(Color.yellow);
g.fillOval(x-height/2, y-width/2,width, height);
g.fillOval((x-height/2)+100, (y-width/2)+50,width, height);
FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
double textWidth = fm.getStringBounds(text, g).getWidth();
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawString(text, (int) (x - textWidth/2),(int) (y + fm.getMaxAscent() / 2));
g.drawString(text, (int) (x - textWidth/2)+100,(int) (y + fm.getMaxAscent() / 2)+50);

g.drawLine(x,y,x+100,y+50);

}
the problem , the line I drawed start from center of circle , I want to draw Line from circle (like Graph node!) thanks for helping ! :)

Actually, I realized there was a way to 'hack it' by drawing the graphic elements in a different order. This still draws the entire line, but then effectively 'erases the unwanted bits' by ..drawing over the top of them!
