How to set style for JTextPane in Java?

Java 8 Object Oriented Programming Programming

To set style for text in JTextPane, use setItalic() or setBold() that sets italic or bold style for font respectively.

Following is our JTextPane component −

JTextPane pane = new JTextPane();

Now, use the StyleConstants class to set style for the JTextPane we created above. We have also set the background and foregound color −

SimpleAttributeSet attributeSet = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setItalic(attributeSet, true);
StyleConstants.setForeground(attributeSet, Color.black);
StyleConstants.setBackground(attributeSet, Color.orange);
pane.setCharacterAttributes(attributeSet, true);

The following is an example to set style for JTextPane −

Example

package my;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Container;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextPane;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.StyleConstants;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws BadLocationException {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      Container container = frame.getContentPane();
      JTextPane pane = new JTextPane();
      SimpleAttributeSet attributeSet = new SimpleAttributeSet();
      StyleConstants.setItalic(attributeSet, true);
      StyleConstants.setForeground(attributeSet, Color.black);
      StyleConstants.setBackground(attributeSet, Color.orange);
      pane.setCharacterAttributes(attributeSet, true);
      pane.setText("We are learning Java and this is a demo text!");
      JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(pane);
      container.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
      frame.setSize(550, 300);
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}
