Java Problem Color not being seen

Please post the actual code. That wouldn't compile

'c' in the constructor call, doesnt look to be in scope to me at first glance.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.awt.Color;

public class MainFile
{
      public static void main(String[] args)
      {
            Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
            DrawingWindow dw = new DrawingWindow();
            
            do
            {
                  System.out.println("---Menu----");
                  System.out.println("1. Add Line");
                  System.out.println("2. Add Rectangle");
                  System.out.println("3. Add Oval");
                  System.out.println("4. Clear");
                  System.out.println("0. Exit");
                  System.out.println("Enter selection: ");
                  int selection= keyboard.nextInt();
                  if(selection ==1)
                  {
                  
                        System.out.println("Enter the X1 for your Line");
                        int x1 = keyboard.nextInt();
                        System.out.println("Enter the Y1 for your Line");
                        int y1 = keyboard.nextInt();
                        System.out.println("Enter the X2 for your Line");
                        int x2 = keyboard.nextInt();
                        System.out.println("Enter the y2 for your Line");
                        int y2 = keyboard.nextInt();
                        
                         
                        
                        System.out.println("---Color Menu----");
                        System.out.println("1. Red");
                        System.out.println("2. Blue");
                        System.out.println("3. Green");
                        System.out.println("4. Random Color");
                        System.out.println("0. Exit");
                        System.out.println("Enter selection: ");
                        int colorselection = keyboard.nextInt();
                        
                              
                              if (colorselection == 1)
                                    {
                                          Color c = Color.RED;
                                                      
                                    }
                              else if (colorselection == 2)
                                    {
                                          Color c = Color.BLUE;      
                                    }
                              else if (colorselection == 3)
                                    {
                                          Color c = Color.GREEN;            
                                    }

                                    }
                              else
                              {
                                          System.exit(0);      
                              }
                              
      
                  
                              DrawingLine D1 = new DrawingLine (x1,x2,y1,y2,c);
                              
                  
                              
                              dw.addShape(D1);
                  }
                  else if(selection ==2)
                  {

                        

                        

                        System.exit(0);
                  }
                  else if(selection ==3)

Try this :

import java.util.*;

krakatoa that is my thought process and my trouble shooting has led me to the same conclusion i dont know how to get in scope

Thanks

Do what Krakatoa posted (without changing the name of the enclosing class)

java.awt.Color[r=255,g=0,b=0]

Thanks figured it out

Much easier btw is

c = new Color ((int)(Math.random() * 0xFFFFFF));

Glad to hear.
(Apologies CEHJ  - you were waiting for the code repost, and I barged in). You should have gotten some points too though). :)

No problem

Eek sorry

Not to worry. ;)
