Draw polygon help

[xcrypted1]

*Edit* Just so you know, we are on the chapter in the book introducing ArrayLists *Edit*

I am having trouble with this problem. The problem is stated:

Implement a class Polygon that contains an array list of Point2D.Double objects. Support methods

public void add(Point2D.Double aPoint)
public void draw(Graphics2D g2)

Draw the polygon by joining adjacent points with a line, and then closing it up by joining the end and start points. Write a graphical application that draws a square and a pentagon using two Polygon objects.

We are given two completed classes called PolygonComponent and PolygonViewer(code below) and have to create one class named Polygon

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class PolygonViewer
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();

      final int FRAME_WIDTH = 300;
      final int FRAME_HEIGHT = 400;

      frame.setSize(FRAME_WIDTH, FRAME_HEIGHT);
      frame.setTitle("PolygonViewer");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

      PolygonComponent component = new PolygonComponent();
      frame.add(component);

      frame.setVisible(true);
   }  
}

import javax.swing.JComponent;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;

/**
   Displays two polygons.
*/
public class PolygonComponent extends JComponent
{
   public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
   {
      Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;

      Polygon square = new Polygon();
      square.add(new Point2D.Double(100, 100));
      square.add(new Point2D.Double(100, 150));
      square.add(new Point2D.Double(150, 150));
      square.add(new Point2D.Double(150, 100));

      square.draw(g2);

      Polygon pentagon = new Polygon();
      double centerX = 200;
      double centerY = 200;
      double radius = 50;
      for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
      {
          double angle = 2 * Math.PI * i / 5;
          pentagon.add(new Point2D.Double(
                           centerX + radius * Math.cos(angle),
                           centerY + radius * Math.sin(angle)));
      }

      pentagon.draw(g2);
   }
}

The above classes are given and are not to be changed.
Here is what I have written for my Polygon class so far

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;

import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Polygon extends JPanel {

	private ArrayList<Point2D.Double> myPolygon = new ArrayList<Point2D.Double>();
	
	
	private Point2D.Double point;

	public void add(Point2D.Double aPoint) {

		myPolygon.add(aPoint); // NullPointerException gets thrown here
		
	}
	
    protected void draw(Graphics2D g2) {
        for(int i=0; i<myPolygon.size(); i++)
        {
            g2.draw(myPolygon.getX());
        }
        

    } 
    
    

}

I have spent two evenings on this same problem, rewriting and trying different things and I have hit a wall. I cannot get this thing to draw and I could use some guidance. Obviously my draw method is not working as you see it, I have been going through the java API and cannot seem to get a grasp as to what I need to do.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Have you read the API doc for the Graphics2D draw() method? Are you calling it with the correct arguments?
Does the ArrayList class have a getX() method?

If the ArrayList contains points, and two points define a line, would you want to get two points from the ArrayList and draw a line between them?

Thank you for the reply, I have updated my code to test a point to draw but the g2.draw(c1) gives me an error "cannot be applied to given types.

protected void draw(Graphics2D g2) {
        for(int i=0; i<myPolygon.size(); i++)
        {
             g2.setColor(Color.BLUE);
       Point2D.Double c1= myPolygon.get(0);
       g2.draw(c1);
        }

g2.draw(c1) gives me an error cannot be applied to given types.

Have you read the API doc for that class and method? You should do that BEFORE you try writing code.

I have read through the API and I am trying to make sense of it. The draw method is described as:
draw(Shape s)
Strokes the outline of a Shape using the settings of the current Graphics2D context.

The array I made(myPolygon) is storing the points as Line2D.Double(100,200) and so on. The spark isn't lighting up over here yet. I cannot seem to come up with how I can pull coordinates out of the array because I am thinking index 0 of the array is holding values Point2D.Double(100,200) which may be the wrong way of thinking.

[NormR1]

Did you look at other methods that might be useful?

Draw the polygon by joining adjacent points with a line,

I referred to drawing lines earlier.
What is in the ArrayList?

I believe I am on the right track now. The API documents are confusing to me, as this is only my second month learning Java. My square and polygon are now drawing like they should, except, the start and end points are not closing. Here is my updated code if you all don't mind looking and verifying what I am doing. Thanks!

protected void draw(Graphics2D g2) {
        //for(int i=0; i<myPolygon.size(); i++)
        
        for (int i = 0; i < myPolygon.size() - 1; i++) {
			Point2D p0 = myPolygon.get(i);
			Point2D p1 = myPolygon.get(i + 1);

			g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(p0, p1));

			p0 = p1;
		}

the start and end points are not closing.

Go back and read the problem statement you posted at the start of this thread. It is explained there.

looking and verifying

The best way is to compile and execute it and see if it does what you want.
