I am using the ACM library to do a project for school. The project is to code the old game Breakout. I want to be able to start with a graphics window that's 400x600 pixels. I know that the GraphicsProgram class has a getWidth() and getHeight(), but I can't find a setWidth() or setHeight().

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, I mean the Association of Computing Machinery. I am sorry for not clarifying earlier.

i searched over this library but i couldnt find anything, why would you use a library for GUI while the java has the swing library which is a great library by Sun?

Ok, thanks for looking for me. I will check out the swing library. Thanks again!!

Trail: Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing (The Java™ Tutorials) here you can find a swing tutorial.
about resizing there is a component in the swing called JFrame that creates the window, the class that you want to be GUI for you application can extend the JFrame class and you can call set size in your class constructor and pass the desired size.

public class GUI extends JFrame
{
      int width=500,height=500;
     public GUI()
     {
        super();
        setSize(width,height);
     }
}
