/help
I'm trying to create a program with javaFX which generates 10 different shapes (lines, squares and ellipses) everytime I press a buttom.
The shapes suppose to get a random color.
I already managed to create the code which generates 10 different shapes as asked BUT I don't manage to color them no matter what I do.
How can I color them?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'n the picture I sent, this is the code which generates ellipses, it generates them black, now I just need to color it.
I've made 3 variables which get values between 0 to 255 to represents the RGB shades.
I don't know which command color it, I tried to find an answer for hours
thanks!

Of what type is your shape object?
Oval
I did gc.fillOval(...)
I guess i'm missing your question
the object
gccanvas
what type is it
If it can help
But yeah the object is canvas type
Or maybe you mean GraphicsContext?
hm
gc is a graphicContext
But I initialized in with canvas
So when I use gc, I'm actually mianly drawing on the canvas
that's what I mean🙏
this also doesnt work with a hard coded colour?
Why do you mean hard coded colour?
Sorry I'm fresh with javaFX
Color.BLUE for exampleIt doesm but I need a random color
does*
When I do the RGB it causes the shapes to disappear
does it also work with hard coded values like
Color.rgb(255, 191, 0)I'm stupid...
I coded it wrongly in the color generator...
it works
yeah thought so 😄
I wrongly did
int color = random.nextInt() * 255;
instead of int color = random.nextInt(255);
