Don’t use setBounds() to set the size and location of a component. Let the layout manager do its job. That is if fact what is happening. A JPanel uses a FlowLayout, so the components are being positioned based on the rules of the FlowLayout. You can change the FlowLayout to align components to the left … Read more
Instead of rotating the component itself, consider rotating the content of a component. This example draws a rotated image in a JPanel. Addendum: In the example RotatableImage.getImage() creates a BufferedImage directly in memory, but you can use ImageIO.read() to obtain an image from elsewhere. BufferedImage#createGraphics() is supported if you want to modify the image, but … Read more
I think you should change your tack, instead of trying to modify the output of a component, instead, modify the input… So all this does, is apply a circular (alpha based) mask to another image BufferedImage master = ImageIO.read(new File(“/Volumes/Disk02/Dropbox/MegaTokyo/thumnails/megatokyo_omnibus_1_3_cover_by_fredrin-d4oupef.jpg”)); int diameter = Math.min(master.getWidth(), master.getHeight()); BufferedImage mask = new BufferedImage(master.getWidth(), master.getHeight(), BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB); Graphics2D g2d = … Read more
You have to supply to the JLabel an Icon implementation (i.e ImageIcon). You can do it trough the setIcon method, as in your question, or through the JLabel constructor: Image image=GenerateImage.toImage(true); //this generates an image file ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image); JLabel thumb = new JLabel(); thumb.setIcon(icon); I recommend you to read the Javadoc for … Read more
Support for HTML in Swing Components is limited to 3.2, but valign=”middle” should work.
JDigit may give you some ideas: It override’s paintComponent() to down-sample a high-resolution BufferedImage and control the geometry. It uses setBorderPainted(false) to set the borderPainted property. It uses a FocusHandler for custom highlighting. Addendum: As noted here, the underlying problem is the font’s leading, defined in FontMetrics as being included in the font’s height. As … Read more
Instead of creating a New Instance of the JLabel for each Image, simply use JLabel#setIcon(…) method of the JLabel to change the image. A small sample program : import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class SlideShow extends JPanel { private int i = 0; private Timer timer; private JLabel images = new JLabel(); private … Read more
No. You can use HTML in the label, but then you must hard code the break tag. A better approach is to use a JTextArea and turn wrapping on. You can change the background,foreground, font etc. of the text are to make it look like a label. Note, this answer is outdated as of at … Read more
Outline Here are the steps to follow. Read the picture as a BufferedImage. Resize the BufferedImage to another BufferedImage that’s the size of the JLabel. Create an ImageIcon from the resized BufferedImage. You do not have to set the preferred size of the JLabel. Once you’ve scaled the image to the size you want, the … Read more
The problem you’re having is you’re blocking the Event Dispatching Thread, prevent the UI from been updated or any new events from been processed… It starts here… for(int i = 0; i < 15; i++) { //… //Check to see if user has enetered anything // And is compounded here while(!answered) { Thread.sleep(duration); //… } … Read more
