I have JPanel which contain a component imageWindow(object of this) now i want to put a label tag in the center of this imagewindow but i am not able to do so?
JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel();
imagePanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
imagePanel.add(ic); //ic is imageWindow obj
JLabel l1=new JLabel("First Label.");
JPanel example =new JPanel();
example.add(l1);
imagePanel.add(example);
what i am doing wrong here is screenshow i need to put the label here.
i want to put the label at the center but it always coming in the right side what i am doing wrong?
You could display the image in a JPanel that draws it in its paintComponent method, give that same JPanel a GridBagLayout, and add the JLabel to it. Or similarly you could display the image as an ImageIcon in a JLabel, give that JLabel a GridBagLayout, and add a text containing JLabel to it.
For instance in the code below, I display an image in the paintComponent method of a JPanel, give that panel a GridBagLayout, and then add a JLabel to that same JPanel without gridbag constraints, and this will center the JLabel on the JPanel:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URL;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ImageFun extends JPanel {
private static final String IMG_PATH = "https://aws.labome.com/figure/te-207-12.png";
private static final String LABEL_TEXT = "Text is Centered"; // JLabel text
private static final Font LABEL_FONT = new Font(Font.SANS_SERIF, Font.BOLD, 48);
private static final Color LABEL_FG = Color.YELLOW;
private BufferedImage img = null; // our image
public ImageFun(BufferedImage img) {
this.img = img;
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
// create JLabel
JLabel label = new JLabel(LABEL_TEXT);
label.setFont(LABEL_FONT);
label.setForeground(LABEL_FG);
add(label); // add without constraints
}
@Override
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
if (img != null) {
// only draw if the image is not null
g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, null);
}
}
@Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
if (isPreferredSizeSet() || img == null) {
return super.getPreferredSize();
}
// size the JPanel to match that of the image
int prefW = img.getWidth();
int prefH = img.getHeight();
return new Dimension(prefW, prefH);
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
BufferedImage bImg = null;
try {
// get an image

bImg = ImageIO.read(imgUrl);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// shove the image into our JPanel
ImageFun imageFun = new ImageFun(bImg);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Image Fun");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(imageFun);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
