How to draw a circle with given X and Y coordinates as the middle spot of the circle?

by

The fillOval fits an oval inside a rectangle, with width=r, height = r you get a circle. If you want fillOval(x,y,r,r) to draw a circle with the center at (x,y) you will have to displace the rectangle by half its width and half its height.

public void drawCenteredCircle(Graphics2D g, int x, int y, int r) {
  x = x-(r/2);
  y = y-(r/2);
  g.fillOval(x,y,r,r);
}

This will draw a circle with center at x,y
