So, I have a game. I would like to make a game where you press "start" and THEN it starts. Also, I want to have collision with triangles, not just squares. The way I handle collision right now is with if statements, if the object is within the other, game over.How would I do collision with triangles? Lastly, how do I set a high score? how to change fonts and font size in swing?
View RepliesI am quite familiar with using JOptionPane and its various displayXDialog() methods and reasonably familiar with changing fonts.
I have a JOptionPane.displayMessageDialog() that is working fine but I decided to make the font larger.
I found an example from which I coded:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", new Font(font.getName(), font.getStyle(), 24));
font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Welcome to Mover", "About Mover", -1); // no icon
After the UIManager.getFont() call after the UIManager.put() call, font shows the new font size of 24, but the showMessageDialog() dialog still has the default font.
And yes I understand that, when this works, it will affect every JOptionPane in my program.
I also tried:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane message = new JOptionPane("Welcome to Mover", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
JDialog dlg = message.createDialog("About Mover");
[Code] ....
This gave me a dialog with the default font and an unwanted icon.
So I tried
// both
Font font = UIManager.getFont("Dialog.font");
// and
Font font = UIManager.getFont("JDialog.font");
and planned to use that font in my setFont() call but font was null.
I built a GUI and after testing it on various platforms I think I would like to make it bigger by a factor of 2.2 or so.
Is there an easy way to just enter the factor 2.2 and have the GUI change by that factor?
I have over 50 components in the GUI. Ideally each one would just enlarge by the factor including the fonts.
This was my first (and only so far) java program. I didn't know anything about layout managers. I used netbeans and it generated all the code.

I'm using a jpanel with an 8 by 8 grid layout of jlabels to which I'm adding images to represent a chess board. At first, I was using the ImageIcon class to initialize my icons, but as soon as I added these icons to the labels, the labels no longer changed size with the window (which I want to happen). URL...
So I copied in the class, and initialized a different set of icons using the stretch icon class (specifically, the method that allows you to initialize a stretch icon from a filename), however, when I use these stretch icons, the result is the same. Is something wrong with the class, or with my implimentation of it, and how would I fix this?

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:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
[Code] ....
I'm misusing the stretch icon class, or just generally what's going wrong/how to fix it?
I'm trying to display a phrase in every font size from 6 thru 20. As it stands now, the code below cascades the phrase, sort of, down the frame, but the font size doesn't change.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class JFontSizes extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
JButton button = new JButton("Press Me");
String aPhrase = new String("This is a phrase.");
[Code] ......
This is what I have thus far.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

The result looks something like this:
Button
This is a phrase.
This is a phrase.
This is a phrase.
This is a phrase.
etc.

I wish to print the content of a JTextArea. I know I can do this with textarea.print(). However, I wish to print in a different font, font size and orientation from that of the JTextArea itself. I have been able to change the orientation by setting print attributes
PrintRequestAttributeSet printAttributes =
new javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet ();
printAttributes.add(javax.print.attribute.standard .OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
And then using the textarea.print() method that allows me to set attributes. However, I haven't found any way to set the font and font size.
I am having problem with the JRadio Buttons to change the font color in my code. What needs to be done? Also if I were to connect this GUI to another GUI and save font colors, how would I go about that?

I wanted to make a program that would change the color of a circle when I click a button. The problem is that the circle also changes color when I manually change the size of the frame with my mouse. For some reason it trigers an ActionEvent, and i don't know why.

It's very simple, I've added an AWT component/control (specifically a Choice object to a Frame. It's a pop-up menu by any other name.
Above the pop-up, there's a label. I'm trying to change its font to no success.
* I create Label object called label1: Label label1 = new Label("This is a pop-up")
* I create a Font object called f: Font f = new Font("Times New Roman, Font.BOLD, 18)
* I apply the new font to the label: (in AFrame's constructor) label1,setFont(f)
When displayed the label's font seems to be stuck on Arialor something similar. Changing the point size however does have an effect.
import java.awt.Choice;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
/**

I have tried different sizes for the 'TextField' but when I change the size, the position changes instead of the size itself.
I'm working on Java-GUI implementation in Ubuntu. Used font-type in the application throughout is "Arial". At earlier stage of application it was the same font-type("Arial"). As the implementation grew the font-type has been changed automatically to another font type. It seems Serif-font type.
Now I could not able to figure out the problem; why it is so.
Note- I used HTML code also for setting font style of Dialog box messages and buttons. This is the only point which I figured out. Can it is ?
I installed Netbeans 7.0.1 but I couldn't find border option's more fonts and color palette as being 7.4.

I have an applet which I want to embed into HTML. In applet viewer in Eclipse IDE the view is this(see pict01), and when I access my index.php on local server I get this view(see pict02). I don't know what I am doing wrong. I checked it with Firefox, IE and chrome. No changes. Here is source code:

I am rather new to Swing, and I am building a game right now in which I need to display a pop-up window as a reminder for what commands exist within the game. I created a class extending JFrame for this and added all the information I need. However, for some reason, no matter how many different ways I try to set the size of this window (setSize(w, h), pack(), using a different layout, adding the compnents to a JPanel first and setting the preffered size of that, then adding the JPanel to the JFrame), it doesn't work. Instead of a window of my requested size, I get a tiny, maybe 100 x 100 pixel window that needs to be resized in order for its contents to be visible.

I have created a java gui on Windows 7 with Eclipse EE, using a screen resolution of 1366 x 768. I used groups with specified boundaries. For example:
final Group g5_script_data = new Group(shell, SWT.BORDER_SOLID);
g5_script_data.setText("Current DB");
g5_script_data.setBounds(0, 0, 680, 380);
g5_script_data.setBackground(green);
The groups cover the whole screen.
However my colleague with a smaller resolution looses the far right of the screen.
As this is a proto-type and I'm new to Java I don't want to rework everything or convert it to say a grid layout until the proto-type is accepted and I can start from scratch with a real detailed design. It already has 6500 lines of source.
Just wondered what is my quickest/easiest way to get my app to display on a slightly smaller resolution. For sure it will not be anything silly. Something like 1280 x 768 to 1366 x 768 would do.
I need to make a simple applet, but I'm stuck with something. This is how my applet should look:

What I've done until now is create one JPanel which includes two other JPanels.. The first one contains only the JTextArea you can see, and the other one includes the other elements.
I just need to make the JTextArea taller, like in the example, so everything comes into place...
I have a simple application where I display a JFrame. I want to maximize the JFrame size, so I have the code this.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); in the constructor. How do I find the dimensions of this JFrame in its extended state though? I tried this.getSize().Height , this getSize().getHeight() and this.getHeight()? None of them work because they just return a value of 0. And what is the difference in all these statements in terms of what they do?

I am currently writing a small drawing program and I am having trouble with changing the size of the shapes. To do this, I have to access the arraylist shapes, check whether pressedX/pressedY is on any of the shapes in the arraylist using the findShape() method and then when released, uses moveBy() in the Rectangle/Oval/Line class and moveShape() in the miniDraw class to move the shape and draw it in the newreleasedX/releasedY position.
So far I think I have pin pointed the problem to being the method in all the shapes classes, that checks whether the pressedX/pressedY which is the on() method, and the findShape() method in the miniDraw class.
