Heya, Griefed here. This is yet another miracle by Rob Camick. This man is a godsend.
See Text Icon
The TextIcon will paint a String of text as an Icon. The Icon can be used by any Swing component that supports icons. TextIcon supports two different layout styles:

• Horizontally - does normal rendering of the text by using the Graphics.drawString(...) method
• Vertically - Each character is displayed on a separate line

TextIcon was designed to be rendered on a specific JComponent as it requires FontMetrics information in order to calculate its size and to do the rendering. Therefore, it should only be added to component it was created for. By default the text will be rendered using the Font and foreground color of its associated component. However, this class does allow you to override these properties. Also starting in JDK6 the desktop renderering hints will be used to renderer the text. For versions not supporting the rendering hints antialiasing will be turned on.

Constructor Detail

TextIcon

public TextIcon(javax.swing.JComponent component,
                java.lang.String text)

Convenience constructor to create a TextIcon with a HORIZONTAL layout.

Parameters:

component - the component to which the icon will be added

text - the text to be rendered on the Icon

TextIcon

public TextIcon(javax.swing.JComponent component,
                java.lang.String text,
                TextIcon.Layout layout)

Create a TextIcon specifying all the properties.

Parameters:

component - the component to which the icon will be added

text - the text to be rendered on the Icon

layout - specify the layout of the text. Must be one of the Layout enums: HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL

Method Detail

getLayout

public TextIcon.Layout getLayout()

Get the Layout enum

Returns:

the Layout enum

getText

public java.lang.String getText()

Get the text String that will be rendered on the Icon

Returns:

the text of the Icon

setText

public void setText(java.lang.String text)

Set the text to be rendered on the Icon

Parameters:

text - the text to be rendered on the Icon

getFont

public java.awt.Font getFont()

Get the Font used to render the text. This will default to the Font of the component unless the Font has been overridden by using the setFont() method.

Returns:

the Font used to render the text

setFont

public void setFont(java.awt.Font font)

Set the Font to be used for rendering the text

Parameters:

font - the Font to be used for rendering the text

getForeground

public java.awt.Color getForeground()

Get the foreground Color used to render the text. This will default to the foreground Color of the component unless the foreground Color has been overridden by using the setForeground() method.

Returns:

the Color used to render the text

setForeground

public void setForeground(java.awt.Color foreground)

Set the foreground Color to be used for rendering the text

Parameters:

foreground - the foreground Color to be used for rendering the text

getPadding

public int getPadding()

Get the padding used when rendering the text

Returns:

the padding specified in pixels

setPadding

public void setPadding(int padding)

By default, the size of the Icon is based on the size of the rendered text. You can specify some padding to be added to the start and end of the text when it is rendered.

Parameters:

padding - the padding amount in pixels

getIconWidth

public int getIconWidth()

Gets the width of this icon.

Specified by:

getIconWidth in interface javax.swing.Icon

Returns:

the width of the icon in pixels.

getIconHeight

public int getIconHeight()

Gets the height of this icon.

Specified by:

getIconHeight in interface javax.swing.Icon

Returns:

the height of the icon in pixels.

paintIcon

public void paintIcon(java.awt.Component c,
                      java.awt.Graphics g,
                      int x,
                      int y)

Paint the icons of this compound icon at the specified location

Specified by:
