Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Set Opacity Of JLabel And Image
Feb 27, 2014
I'm trying to make a JLabel with an image fade in from transparent to fully visible.Is this possible with the JLabel itself or would I have to change the Image? If I'd have to change the Image's opacity how would I do this?
I'm trying to add an image on an undecorated JFrame and make it translucent by adjusting its opacity. The problem is that my Image also becomes translucent.
Here is my code:
package Loading; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; public class TransparentFrame extends JFrame{ public TransparentFrame(){ createAndShowGUI();
[Code] .....
How can i make my image opaque but the frame behind it completely invisible. Why I'm getting serialize class warning in this code? that is:
"The serializable class TransparentFrame does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long"
I have tried to set a background Image to a calculator usinf JLabel. However I've ended up with my image to the left of my calculator , my calculator textfield becoming the size of the background image and then all my buttons below it. Like so(if you can view the image)..Calculator.jpg
How can I fix this so the background is behind my buttons and my text area is a normal size again.
I've tried to add a background image to my calculator , however I have ended up with this ...Calculator.jpg
How do I fix it so the image is behind my buttons etc (as a background) And how do I fix my textarea so it is back to the normal size and not the height of the image? My code is below, please be specific.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; /** * Program using SWING components to create a Christmas themed Calculator. */
public class GridBag1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener { private JFrame window= new JFrame("Christmas Calculator");
I'm trying to read images and draw them on JLabel. This code snippet below is reading images from a folder
private ArrayList<ShowItem> getData() { int score = 0; ArrayList<ShowItem> item = new ArrayList<ShowItem>(); File dir = new File(getImageFolderPath()); if (dir.isDirectory()) { for (final File f : dir.listFiles(IMAGE_FILTER)) { BufferedImage img = null; try {
[Code]...
ShowItem is a class that extends Image. DisplayImage extends ShowItem.
One of the overridden methods in ShowItem is
@Override public Graphics getGraphics() { return null; }
I'm not exactly sure what to do here so I left it.
In another class, where I draw the images on Jlabel. This is what I have:
I tried to run it, and check if I'm actually getting the images, and did system out and it listed all the jpg images I have but it's not displaying on the panel.
i have very critical problem in my collage project i have try many code but still i cant solve this problem, i want to display image on jlabel or jpanel with respect of components size without use of drawimage method
Sir, I'am new to Swing Programming. I have to create an application where an image is displayed on one Label. The same image has to be split in parts and stored in database pert wise. Later the user has to retrieve the entire image by viewing a small part of the image. I have already displayed the full image on the Label, now i don't know how to split the image and store it part wise in the database.
I'm having problems getting my program to display a JLabel. The program draws shapes of random size and color across a panel. I have this part working. (There is more code for the drawing of shapes, I left it out for easier reading). When I try to add a JLabel in the main method, it does not display.
import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; public class TestDraw {
I am trying to write an application where if you click and hold down on 1 button and move the mouse to another button and release the text on the 2 buttons should be switched around.I have a print line so I can se the text are supposed to get switched around but it is just not happening in the GUI.
I attached all my code in case the flaw was to find somewhere else in the code, but the functionality I am working on is the lines 76 to 121.
Create a dnd (dungeons and dragons) character creator and back ground generator, have it display and run on a gui, to start with i decided to creator the gui as i go so i can see the progress, first i tried eclipse and windows builder, well after 1 day of reinstalling windows builder in about 5 different ways from multiple guides and sometimes getting it to partly work ...
After doing some more research I have figured out how to get the main program to display the gui . Heres what i have:
package com.mrgreaper; import javax.swing.*; public class MainWindow { private JPanel mainWindow; private JLabel playerlbl; private JLabel playerNamelbl;
[Code] .....
Now this works fine and the gui displays when the program is run but I can't change the text of any of the jlabels or textfield. If I try to do it in the main class i need to change them from private to public static but then in the form builder it says "cannot bind to static field *name of field*" but if i take static off then i cant change its value!
From what i understand this is because the window is an instance, so how to i change the value in that instance? I could put all my code in the one class, the one that creates the gui, but i really want it seperate, i would like the gui to update as the code runs... So how do i do it, how do i change the contents of jlabels on the fly, read the contents of text boxes on the fly etc....
I tried adding a getter setter
public void setCharFirst(JLabel charFirst) { this.charFirst = charFirst; } in the MainWindow.class
Then i tried to set it from my main function
MainWindow.setCharFirst("test");
but it cant access it as my main function is static and it is not now can i make it static...
I want to create 3 JTextFields in a row with all being of equal size.But my first Text field gets so wide than the other two.After adding each component at a time and seeing what causes the problem I realized that if I type a long text for the JLabel that's when this problem occurs.If I reduce the length of the text in the JLabel JTextFields get into the sizes I want. Here's my code
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.lang.Math; public class Calculator1 extends JFrame { JTextField value1=new JTextField("0"); JTextField value2=new JTextField("0");
[Code] ....
How can I stop the JTextFields changing size when I change the JLabel label1's text length...
I am working on a project (assignment) and i want to be able to click on jlabel and the select border will show (as shown in the image attached) and i used it to resize the jlabel. I tried
@Override public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) { super.componentResized(e); setPreferredSize(getSize()); } });`
yet is not working. I tried some other code that are not working.
I don't get what I missed in the code. I used the example of changing the text of a button by clicking on it, but instead I also added a JLabel and tried to make the button change its text instead, but it didn't work. What did I do wrong?
This is a part of my program. When the user enters "Exam Schedule" in the JtextField and clicks the add button I want the link to change to a link that opens a local pdf file. And if the user enters "Academic Calendar" the Jlabel will be set to another link. So far this works fine but the problem is that if you erase the textfield and enter another value the link of the previous value will still be there.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){ if (e.getSource ==add) { if (text.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Exam Schedule")){ link1.setText(text.getText()); link1.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));
I'm trying to create a chess program in java swing, and for the board I'm using an 8 by 8 array of jlabels stuck inside a jpanel with a grid layout. I would like the board to change size when the window changes size, and the grid layout accomplishes this succesfully, until I add the actual icons to the jlabels. Then the board just stays a fixed size. Someone suggested I use their "Stretch Icon" class, found here:[URL] ...., so I tried initializing the icons using one of the constructors in the class (the one that takes an image name and a boolean value for whether or not you want the resisizing to be proportionate (to maintain the aspect ratio)). However, the same thing happened. The board appears, but it does not resisize. To attempt to fix this problem, I tried simplifying my code, reducing the program to two jlabels within the jpanel, for which I then tried to set the image in the same way. Here is my simplified code:
1. The human user of my application asks it to fire up a scanner which scans a paper document. The document is a filled in form. 2. The application then displays the scanned image to the human user.The image is displayed in a JScrollPane since it may be larger than the scroll pane. 3. The human user needs to locate a certain item in the form, for example a social security number, and enter it into a field in a data entry screen.Note that the image and the field appear on the same screen.
Of-course the social security number always appears in the same location in the image. Also the image needs to be the appropriate magnification and resolution to allow the human user to easily read and understand the item he is searching for in the image.
What is the best way to present the scanned image to the user such that he immediately sees the item he requires and can enter it into the data entry field.
I have added the image in the src and bin directories and cross-checked that the name of the image file is correct..Here is the main class
import javax.swing.*; public class apples { public static void main(String args[]) { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); MyDrawPanel wid = new MyDrawPanel(); frame.add(wid); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setVisible(true); frame.setSize(300,300); } }
and here is the class that does the image adding part
import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*;
public class MyDrawPanel extends JPanel { public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Image image = new ImageIcon("b.png").getImage(); g.drawImage(image,20, 20, this); } }
My database contains path of images that I want my jComboBox to diaplay. I have written the following code but it does not work for comboBox but works fine when I display image on jLabel etc. How should I go about this
try { ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream( transferWorker.bOutput .toByteArray()); BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO .read(in);
[Code] ....
But nothing is happening in the GUI. I have stepped through and bufferedimage contains the data, but its not being displayed. Whats happening is, an image is being transmitted to serial port of laptop, so i'm taking it in and storing it in a BufferOutputStream and then trying to open it in my GUI class.
