public class JXLabel
extends JLabel

A JLabel subclass which supports Painters, multi-line text, and text rotation.

Painter support consists of the foregroundPainter and backgroundPainter properties. The backgroundPainter refers to a painter responsible for painting beneath the text and icon. This painter, if set, will paint regardless of the opaque property. If the background painter does not fully paint each pixel, then you should make sure the opaque property is set to false.

The foregroundPainter is responsible for painting the icon and the text label. If no foregroundPainter is specified, then the look and feel will paint the label. Note that if opaque is set to true and the look and feel is rendering the foreground, then the foreground may paint over the background. Most look and feels will paint a background when opaque is true. To avoid this behavior, set opaque to false.

Since JXLabel is not opaque by default (isOpaque() returns false), neither of these problems typically present themselves.

Multi-line text is enabled via the lineWrap property. Simply set it to true. By default, line wrapping occurs on word boundaries.

The text (actually, the entire foreground and background) of the JXLabel may be rotated. Set the rotation property to specify what the rotation should be. Specify rotation angle in radian units.

Returns:

the current foreground painter.

reshape

public void reshape(int x,
                    int y,
                    int w,

Parameters:

painter -

setBackgroundPainter

public void setBackgroundPainter(Painter p)

Sets a Painter to use to paint the background of this component By default there is already a single painter installed which draws the normal background for this component according to the current Look and Feel. Calling setBackgroundPainter will replace that existing painter.

Parameters:

p - the new painter

See Also:

getBackgroundPainter()

getBackgroundPainter

public final Painter getBackgroundPainter()

Returns the current background painter. The default value of this property is a painter which draws the normal JPanel background according to the current look and feel.

Returns:

the current painter

See Also:

setBackgroundPainter(Painter)

getTextRotation

public double getTextRotation()

Gets current value of text rotation in rads.

Returns:

a double representing the current rotation of the text

See Also:

setTextRotation(double)

getPreferredSize

public Dimension getPreferredSize()

Description copied from class: javax.swing.JComponent

If the preferredSize has been set to a non-null value just returns it. If the UI delegate's getPreferredSize method returns a non null value then return that; otherwise defer to the component's layout manager.

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class JComponent

Returns:

the value of the preferredSize property

See Also:

JComponent.setPreferredSize(java.awt.Dimension), ComponentUI

getMaxLineSpan

public int getMaxLineSpan()

setMaxLineSpan

public void setMaxLineSpan(int maxLineSpan)

setTextRotation

public void setTextRotation(double textOrientation)

Sets new value for text rotation. The value can be anything in range <0,2PI>. Note that although property name suggests only text rotation, the whole foreground painter is rotated in fact. Due to various reasons it is strongly discouraged to access any size related properties of the label from other threads then EDT when this property is set.

Parameters:

textOrientation - Value for text rotation in range <0,2PI>

See Also:

getTextRotation()

setLineWrap

public void setLineWrap(boolean b)

Enables line wrapping support for plain text. By default this support is disabled to mimic default of the JLabel. Value of this property has no effect on HTML text.

Parameters:

b - the new value

isLineWrap

public boolean isLineWrap()

Returns the current status of line wrap support. The default value of this property is false to mimic default JLabel behavior. Value of this property has no effect on HTML text.

Returns:

the current multiple line splitting status

getTextAlignment

public JXLabel.TextAlignment getTextAlignment()

Gets current text wrapping style.

Returns:

setTextAlignment

public void setTextAlignment(JXLabel.TextAlignment alignment)

Sets style of wrapping the text.

Parameters:

alignment -

See Also:

for accepted values.

isPaintBorderInsets

public boolean isPaintBorderInsets()

Returns true if the background painter should paint where the border is or false if it should only paint inside the border. This property is true by default. This property affects the width, height, and intial transform passed to the background painter.

Returns:

current value of the paintBorderInsets property

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()

Description copied from class: javax.swing.JComponent

Returns true if this component is completely opaque.

An opaque component paints every pixel within its rectangular bounds. A non-opaque component paints only a subset of its pixels or none at all, allowing the pixels underneath it to "show through". Therefore, a component that does not fully paint its pixels provides a degree of transparency.

Subclasses that guarantee to always completely paint their contents should override this method and return true.

Overrides:

isOpaque in class JComponent

Returns:

true if this component is completely opaque

See Also:

JComponent.setOpaque(boolean)

setPaintBorderInsets

public void setPaintBorderInsets(boolean paintBorderInsets)

Sets the paintBorderInsets property. Set to true if the background painter should paint where the border is or false if it should only paint inside the border. This property is true by default. This property affects the width, height, and initial transform passed to the background painter. This is a bound property.

Parameters:

paintBorderInsets - new value of the paintBorderInsets property

paintComponent

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)

Description copied from class: javax.swing.JComponent

Calls the UI delegate's paint method, if the UI delegate is non-null. We pass the delegate a copy of the Graphics object to protect the rest of the paint code from irrevocable changes (for example, Graphics.translate).

If you override this in a subclass you should not make permanent changes to the passed in Graphics. For example, you should not alter the clip Rectangle or modify the transform. If you need to do these operations you may find it easier to create a new Graphics from the passed in Graphics and manipulate it. Further, if you do not invoker super's implementation you must honor the opaque property, that is if this component is opaque, you must completely fill in the background in a non-opaque color. If you do not honor the opaque property you will likely see visual artifacts.

The passed in Graphics object might have a transform other than the identify transform installed on it. In this case, you might get unexpected results if you cumulatively apply another transform.

Overrides:

paintComponent in class JComponent

Parameters:

g - graphics to paint on

See Also:

JComponent.paint(java.awt.Graphics), ComponentUI

repaint

public void repaint()

Description copied from class: java.awt.Component

Repaints this component.

If this component is a lightweight component, this method causes a call to this component's paint method as soon as possible. Otherwise, this method causes a call to this component's update method as soon as possible.

Note: For more information on the paint mechanisms utilitized by AWT and Swing, including information on how to write the most efficient painting code, see Painting in AWT and Swing.

Overrides:

repaint in class Component

See Also:

Component.update(Graphics)

repaint

public void repaint(int x,
                    int y,
                    int width,
                    int height)

Description copied from class: java.awt.Component

Repaints the specified rectangle of this component.

If this component is a lightweight component, this method causes a call to this component's paint method as soon as possible. Otherwise, this method causes a call to this component's update method as soon as possible.
