===== Οι κλάσεις ButtonGroup και JRadioButton =====

Τα //radio buttons// οργανώνονται σε //button groups//. Τα //radio buttons// είναι ανάλογα με τα //check boxes// με την ιδιαιτερότητα ότι μόνο ένα //radio button// μπορεί να είναι επιλεγμένο κάθε φορά στο ίδιο //button group//.  Επιπλέον, από τα κουμπιά ενός //button group// μόνο ένα είναι επιλέξιμο. 

Κάθε φορά που ο χρήστης επιλέγει ένα radio button τότε δημιουργείται ένα αντικείμενο τύπου [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ActionEvent.html|java.awt.events.ActionEvent]] το οποίο λαμβάνεται από ένα αντικείμενο τύπου [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ActionListener.html|ActionListener]] που συνδέεται με το //radio button//. 

Παράλληλα, δημιουργούνται και δύο αντικείμενα τύπου [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ItemEvent.html|java.awt.events.ItemEvent]] ένα αντικείμενο για το button που επιλέχθηκε και ένα αντικείμενο για το button που απο-επιλέχθηκε (εάν υπήρξε τέτοιο), τα οποία λαμβάνονται από ένα αντικείμενο του τύπου [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ItemListener.html|ItemListener]]. 

Παρακάτω δίνονται δύο παραλλαγές του ιδίου προγράμματος **α)** με χρήση [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ActionListener.html|ActionListener]] και **β)** με χρήση [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/event/ItemListener.html|ItemListener]]. Για τα δύο παραδείγματα που ακολουθούν θα χρειαστείτε τις εικόνες {{:swing:animals.zip|}}.
