JLabel Example
In this JLabel example a JLabel is added to a JFrame's content pane. The JLabel has a background color.
For this to be shown the method JLabel.setOpaque() must be called for the label, with a true parameter.
// JLabel Example
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class JLabelExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JLabel label = new JLabel("billabong");
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBackground(Color.green);
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
Container cp = frame.getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
cp.setBackground(Color.yellow);
cp.add(label);
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
