Class JXLabel

  • All Implemented Interfaces:

    Direct Known Subclasses:
    BasicHeaderUI.DescriptionPane
    public class JXLabel
extends javax.swing.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.

        Gets current value of text rotation in rads.
        Returns:

      • 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()

        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()

      • isPaintBorderInsets

        public boolean isPaintBorderInsets()

        Returns:
        current value of the paintBorderInsets property

      • isOpaque

        public boolean isOpaque()

        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.
