Assignment 6 Flag Producer
Maximum Points = 50
The
purpose of this lab is to continue your introduction to user-defined classes and
to the Scanner, File, and Frame classes in the Java programming language. In
this assignment, you will write a program that reads data from two files and
then display a collection of flags of a user-selected type.
v Your program must read the data from two
files called vflags.txt and hflags.txt NOTE: you will need to use the comma
delimiter as illustrated in the examples to separate the data components.
v The file will consist of data for five
(5) tri-color flags (each flag will consist of a country name, followed by
three colors (top, middle, bottom or left, middle, right) where each component
will be separated by the comma (,) symbol as shown below:
vflags.txt hflags.txt
Italy,
green, white, red Bulgaria,white, green, red
Chad,
blue, yellow, red Seirra
Leone, green, white, blue

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample flags:
v Your program must include a class(es) that will hold each type
of flag data (complete with constructor(s), get and set methods for each
instance variable, and a toString method that returns
the contents of the instance variables).
v Include an additional method drawFlag (see page 113 of Big Java) that receives the x and
y coordinates of the top corner of the flag and draws the flag at the specified
location (assume all three stripes are the same width).
v Once your program has collected the
data from the files, you need to ask the user which type
of flag (horizontal or vertical) to display and then display the five flags of
the specified type on the same screen using a JFrame.
v Your listing should have an
appropriate title at the top in a larger font (and different font face and
color). The listing of the five flags should display the country name with the
flag.
v Modularize
your program to minimize the amount of changes you would need to make if we
change the number of flags.
EXTRA
CHALLENGES:
i) add additional types of flags [http://www.flagdetective.com/],
e.g. bicolors, solids.
ii)
add an optional image in the center of the flag.
Make sure
that your program uses proper indentation and complete documentation. See http://csc.columbusstate.edu/summers/NOTES/1301/style.htm
for guidelines.
The program heading should occur at the top of the program and should include:
/** * PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS * NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:*
* @author (your name) * @version (date)
