Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
int w = getSize().width;
int h = getSize().height;
Font font = new Font("Dialog", Font.BOLD, 40);
FontMetrics fontMetrics = getFontMetrics(font);;
g2D.setFont(font);
GradientPaint gp = new GradientPaint(
30.0f, 50.0f,
Color.blue,
fontMetrics.stringWidth("Hello!"),
fontMetrics.getHeight(),
Color.red);
g2D.setPaint(gp);
g2D.drawString("java2s.com", 20,200);
}
}
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);
