Information and Pictures

 

This file contains detailed information about each flag required for project #2 and pictures of each flag in two different sizes.  Realize that these are just examples – two randomly chosen sizes.  From the description, you need to be able to extend this to any other valid size for that flag.

1 Austria

The Austrian flag is three equally spaced horizontal stripes where the top and the bottom stripes are red and the center stripe is white.

The height specified by the user must be a multiple of three.  The multiple of three allows the three stripes to be of the same size.  If a “non-multiple of 3” value is given, the error flag must be drawn instead.

2 Nigeria

The Nigerian flag is three equally spaced vertical stripes where the left and the right stripes are green and the center stripe is white.

The height specified by the user must be a multiple of three.  The multiple of three allows the three stripes to be of the same size.  If a “non-multiple of 3” value is given, the error flag must be drawn instead.

3 Thailand

The flag for Thailand is five equally spaced horizontal stripes.  The top and the bottom stripes are red.  The center stripe is blue. 

The height specified by the user must be a multiple of five.  If a value is given that is not a multiple of five, the error flag must be drawn instead.

4 Latvia

The flag for Latvia three horizontal stripes, but the stripes are not equally sized.  The top and the bottom stripes (the red ones) are twice as large as the center stripe (the white one).

The height as specified by the user for this flag must be a multiple of five.  This will allow the top and the bottom to each be two fifths of the flag while the center is one fifth.  If a non-multiple of five is given as the height specified by the user, the error flag must be drawn instead.

5 The Sudan

The flag for The Sudan has three equally spaced horizontal stripes (red, white and then black) with a green triangle from the left side.  The triangle must cover the whole left side of the flag and then get one smaller on each side in each column until it comes to a point in the vertical center of the flag.  If the size of the flag given is even it will appear like a flat point, but if the size given is odd it will be an actual one cell point.

The height specified by the user for this flag must be a multiple of three.  If a non-multiple of three is given, the error flag must be drawn instead.

Size 24

 

6 Puerto Rico

The flag for Puerto Rico is has five equally spaced horizontal stripes alternating red and white and a  blue triangle from the left side.  (It also has a star in the blue area, but we will skip the star for ease in drawing.)  The triangle must cover the whole left side of the flag and then get one smaller on each side in each column until it comes to a point in the vertical center of the flag.  If the size of the flag given is even it will appear like a flat point, but if the size given is odd it will be an actual one cell point.

The height specified by the user for this flag must be a multiple of five.  If a value is given that is not a multiple of five, the error flag must be drawn instead.

7 England

The flag for England has a white background with red vertical and horizontal lines in the center each direction.  The vertical line will be exactly two pixels wide, and the horizontal line will be exactly two pixels high.   

The height specified by the user for this flag must be even.  If an odd value is given, the error flag must be drawn instead.

Size 12

 

8 The Dominican Republic

The flag for the Dominican Republic has a white vertical line and a white horizontal line as described for England.  But here the top right and bottom left quarter are red, and the top left and the bottom right quarters are blue. 

The height specified by the user for this flag must be even.  If an odd value is given, the error flag must be drawn instead.

9 Antigua & Barbuda

 

The flag for Antigua and Barbuda two red triangles in the bottom right and the bottom left corners.  The top two fifths of the center section is black, the center one fifth is blue, and the bottom two fifths is white.  (One line of the white will be lost where the red triangles come together at the bottom, center of the flag.) (note: There is also a yellow sun in the black area that we will skip for ease in drawing.)

The height specified by the user for this flag must be a multiple of five.  This will allow the center section to be divided correctly between the black, blue and white portions.  If value is given that is not a multiple of five, the error flag must be drawn instead.

Invalid/Error Flag

 

 The error flag should be displayed as a white flag with a single red square in each of the four corners.  If the height given by the user between 4 and 30 (inclusive), but the dimensions are not allowed by that specific flag as defined above, the error flag should be displayed in the dimensions given by the user.  If the size given is less than 4, the exampleDriver creates a flag that is 4 high for you to display the error flag in.  If the size given is greater than 30, the exampleDriver creates a flag that is 4 high for you to display the error flag in.   If the flag is between 4 and 30 (inclusive), but the countryCode is not one provided by the menu, the Error Flag of the specified size should be created.
