@JavaBean
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.

Method Detail

getForegroundPainter

public final org.jdesktop.swingx.painter.Painter getForegroundPainter()

Returns the current foregroundPainter. This is a bound property. By default the foregroundPainter will be an internal painter which executes the standard painting code (paintComponent()).

Returns:

the current foreground painter.

reshape

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

Overrides:

reshape in class javax.swing.JComponent

setForegroundPainter

public void setForegroundPainter(org.jdesktop.swingx.painter.Painter painter)

Sets a new foregroundPainter on the label. This will replace the existing foreground painter. Existing painters can be wrapped by using a CompoundPainter.

Parameters:

painter -

setBackgroundPainter

public void setBackgroundPainter(org.jdesktop.swingx.painter.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 org.jdesktop.swingx.painter.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 java.awt.Dimension getPreferredSize()

Overrides:

getPreferredSize in class javax.swing.JComponent

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:

the text alignment for this label

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 initial transform passed to the background painter.

Returns:

current value of the paintBorderInsets property

isOpaque

public boolean isOpaque()

Overrides:

isOpaque in class javax.swing.JComponent

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.
