Labels

Label object are short (1-line) noneditable text objects.

The commonly used methods that belong to the Label class are:

JLabel(String text) - default alignment of LEFT.

JLabel(String text, int align) - align can be JLabel.LEFT, JLabel.RIGHT, or JLabel.CENTER.

getAlignment() - return the Label object's current alignment.

getText() - return the current text for the Label object.

setAlignment(int align) - set the Label object's alignment to align.

setText(String text) - set the text for the Label object to text.

You can create Label objects and then add them, as done in the Gui2 example.

You can also instantiate the object and add it at the same time like this:


add(new JLabel("Label One", JLabel.LEFT));
