Question

I apologize about the viewing format. I haven’t been able to figure out all the posting details quite yet.
If you Have and recommendations in regards to the formating too, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

I’m Drawing a background for a hangman game. I’m working exclusively with visuals.

Eclipse is telling I can only use int methods in the Arc method.

final int XMID = 400;
final int YMID = 300;

//small cirlce diameter
final int SMCD = 60;
final double BGCD = SMCD * 2.5;
                 // ^^^^^^^^^^ problem          

//wave base
g.fillRect(0, 480, 800, 20);

//first big circle (ARC)

g.fillArc(XMID-(SMCD/2) , 480-SMCD , BGCD, BGCD, 0, 130);
                      //  ^^^^^^^^ problem          
//first small circle
g.setColor(Color.CYAN);
g.fillOval(XMID-(SMCD/2),480-SMCD , SMCD, SMCD);
             //  ^^^^^^ problem

You’ll need to cast BGCD to an int,
i.e. (int)BGCD because the drawing methods don’t work with doubles or floats.
