To set the alignment of the label content along the X axis on the left, use the setHorizontalAlignment() method and set the location. Let us first set a label component. We have set the label background color as well so that we can check the alignment of the label’s content properly −JLabel label = new JLabel("Country "); label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(190, 100)); label.setOpaque(true); label.setBackground(Color.BLUE); label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);Now, we will align the label content along the X axis on the left by seeting location as LEFT −label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.LEFT);The following is an example to set the alignment of the JLabel content along the X axis on the ...
