I was trying to change the font size of JLabel
, I tried to set Font
but it is always the same!
Here is some of the code:
@Override
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
Container cont=this.getContentPane();
intro=new JLabel("משחק זיכרון");
intro.setForeground(Color.YELLOW);
intro.setFont(intro.getFont().deriveFont(64.0f));
intro.setHorizontalAlignment( SwingConstants.CENTER );
cont.add(intro);
}
You are calling the wrong deriveFont
method.
The parameter in deriveFont(int)
is the style (bold, italic, etc.). The method you are looking for is deriveFont(float)
.
In your case, the only change you need to make is intro.setFont(intro.getFont().deriveFont(64.0f));
.
Here's a short code example that does display a label with font size 64:
JFrame frame = new JFrame ("Test");
JLabel label = new JLabel ("Font Test");
label.setFont (label.getFont ().deriveFont (64.0f));
frame.getContentPane ().add (label);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack ();
frame.setVisible (true);
