Set the content of the JLabel to be left-justified and top-aligned in Java
To set the text of the label component to be left-justified and top-aligned, you need to set the alignment. Set the label to be on the left and top aligned −
JLabel label = new JLabel("Department”);
label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.TOP);Here, we have set the size of the label as well as the color that includes foreground and background color −
label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(220, 70)); label.setOpaque(true); label.setBackground(Color.MAGENTA); label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
The following is an example to set the content of the label to be left-justified and top-aligned −
package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class SwingDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame");
frame.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JLabel label = new JLabel("Department");
label.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(220, 70));
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.TOP);
label.setBackground(Color.MAGENTA);
label.setForeground(Color.WHITE);
Font font = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 18);
label.setFont(font);
JTextArea text = new JTextArea();
text.setText("Operations");
font = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 14);
text.setFont(font);
frame.add(label);
frame.add(text);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(500, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}Output
