Question

i want to draw the pie menu in java which has 8 pies inside oval all of equal size.
The problem is when I draw one arc inside oval next arc overlap the previous arc and change its color, but I want 8 equal size filled arcs inside circle with different colors. Can any one tell me how can I achieve this? Here is my code.

public class mypanel extends JPanel {

    int mx = 20;
    int my = 20;
    int ms = 120;
    int mg = 120;

    public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
        g2.setColor(Color.red);
        g2.drawOval(mx, my, 100, 100);
        g2.fillArc(mx, my, 100, 100, 0, 45);
        g2.setColor(Color.blue);
        g2.fillArc(mx, my, 100, 100, 0, 60);
        g2.setColor(Color.white);
        g2.fillArc(mx, my, 100, 100, 0, 20);
        g2.setColor(Color.black);
        g2.fillArc(mx, my, 100, 100, 0, 80);
        g2.setColor(Color.blue);
        g2.fillArc(mx, my, 100, 100, 0, 95);

    }
}

This should do the trick:

    Color[] c = {Color.BLACK, Color.RED, Color.BLUE, Color.YELLOW, 
                 Color.GREEN, Color.CYAN, Color.MAGENTA, Color.PINK};
    for(int i=0; i<8; ++i){
        g.setColor(c[i]);
        g.fillArc(x, y, w, h, i*45, 45);
    }
