Draw an oval exactly within the perimeter of an AWT Panel

I want to draw an oval exactly within the panel, similar to

enter image description here

@Override
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        super.paint(g);
            g.drawOval(x,y,this.getHeight(), this.getHeight() );
        }
    }

where x and y according to java.awt.Graphics documentation:

x: the x coordinate of the upper left corner of the oval to be drawn.

y: the y coordinate of the upper left corner of the oval to be drawn.

So what should x and y be?

Both x and y should be 0, as this sets the upper left corner of the oval to be at the upper left corner of the JPanel. Also, the line:

g.drawOval(x,y,this.getHeight(), this.getHeight() );

should actually be

g.drawOval(x, y, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());

to ensure that the oval is drawn properly; else, it will simply be circular no matter the size of the JPanel.
