Draw font base line and wraping rectangle in Java
Description
The following code shows how to draw font base line and wraping rectangle.
Example
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
//from ww w . jav a 2s.com
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
String message = "java2s.com";
Font f = new Font("Serif", Font.BOLD, 36);
g2.setFont(f);
// measure the size of the message
FontRenderContext context = g2.getFontRenderContext();
Rectangle2D bounds = f.getStringBounds(message, context);
// set (x,y) = top left corner of text
double x = (getWidth() - bounds.getWidth()) / 2;
double y = (getHeight() - bounds.getHeight()) / 2;
// add ascent to y to reach the baseline
double ascent = -bounds.getY();
double baseY = y + ascent;
// draw the message
g2.drawString(message, (int) x, (int) baseY);
g2.setPaint(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
// draw the baseline
g2.draw(new Line2D.Double(x, baseY, x + bounds.getWidth(), baseY));
// draw the enclosing rectangle
Rectangle2D rect = new Rectangle2D.Double(x, y, bounds.getWidth(), bounds.getHeight());
g2.draw(rect);
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setBounds(30, 30, 450, 450);
window.getContentPane().add(new MyCanvas());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
