Create JLabel with border
In this example we are going to see how to create a JLabel
with border. This is one basic graphics enhancement for your application. In general, this is one of the main customizations you can perform to your JLabels
.
In short, all you have to do to create a JLabel
with border is:
- Create a class that extends
JFrame
. - Create a new
JLabel
. - Use
BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLUE, 5)
to create a newBorder
with specific color and line width. - Use
JLabel.setBorder
to set the border of the JLabel component. - Use
add
to add the JLabel to the frame.
Let’s see the code:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.desktop; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.border.Border; public class CreateJLabelWithBorder extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; public CreateJLabelWithBorder() { // set flow layout for the frame this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); JLabel label = new JLabel("Java Code Geeks - Java Examples"); // create a line border with the specified color and width Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLUE, 5); // set the border of this component label.setBorder(border); // add textfield to frame add(label); } private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame frame = new CreateJLabelWithBorder(); //Display the window. frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); } public static void main(String[] args) { //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: //creating and showing this application's GUI. javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); } }
