We would like to know how to get Font Metrics.
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Dimension; import java.awt.FontMetrics; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.Graphics2D; /* ww w.j ava 2s . c o m*/ import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame(); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); frame.add(new TestPane()); frame.pack(); frame.setVisible(true); System.out.println("Frame size = " + frame.getSize()); } } class TestPane extends JPanel { @Override public Dimension getPreferredSize() { return new Dimension(200, 200); } @Override protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) { super.paintComponent(g); Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g.create(); String text = getWidth() + "x" + getHeight(); FontMetrics fm = g2d.getFontMetrics(); int x = (getWidth() - fm.stringWidth(text)) / 2; int y = ((getHeight() - fm.getHeight()) / 2) + fm.getAscent(); g2d.drawString(text, x, y); g2d.dispose(); } }
