  4. public abstract void drawOval(int x, int y, int width, int height): is used to draw oval with the specified width and height.
  5. public abstract void fillOval(int x, int y, int width, int height): is used to fill oval with the default color and specified width and height.
  6. public abstract void drawLine(int x1, int y1, int x2, int y2): is used to draw line between the points(x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
  7. public abstract boolean drawImage(Image img, int x, int y, ImageObserver observer): is used draw the specified image.
  8. public abstract void drawArc(int x, int y, int width, int height, int startAngle, int arcAngle): is used draw a circular or elliptical arc.
