Make running (marquee ) of JLabel in Netbeans [duplicate]

How can I implement Marquee effect in Java Swing

Here's an example using javax.swing.Timer.
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
/** #see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3617326 */
public class MarqueeTest {
private void display() {
JFrame f = new JFrame("MarqueeTest");
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
String s = "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, "
+ "creeps in this petty pace from day to day, "
+ "to the last syllable of recorded time; ... "
+ "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of "
+ "sound and fury signifying nothing.";
MarqueePanel mp = new MarqueePanel(s, 32);
f.add(mp);
f.pack();
f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
f.setVisible(true);
mp.start();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
new MarqueeTest().display();
}
});
}
}
/** Side-scroll n characters of s. */
class MarqueePanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
private static final int RATE = 12;
private final Timer timer = new Timer(1000 / RATE, this);
private final JLabel label = new JLabel();
private final String s;
private final int n;
private int index;
public MarqueePanel(String s, int n) {
if (s == null || n < 1) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null string or n < 1");
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(n);
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
sb.append(' ');
}
this.s = sb + s + sb;
this.n = n;
label.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.ITALIC, 36));
label.setText(sb.toString());
this.add(label);
}
public void start() {
timer.start();
}
public void stop() {
timer.stop();
}
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
index++;
if (index > s.length() - n) {
index = 0;
}
label.setText(s.substring(index, index + n));
}
}

I know this is a late answer, but I just saw another question about a marquee that was closed because it was considered a duplicate of this answer.
So I thought I'd add my suggestion which takes a approach different from the other answers suggested here.
The MarqueePanel scrolls components on a panel not just text. So this allows you to take full advantage of any Swing component. A simple marquee can be used by adding a JLabel with text. A fancier marquee might use a JLabel with HTML so you can use different fonts and color for the text. You can even add a second component with an image.

Basic answer is you draw your text / graphic into a bitmap and then implement a component that paints the bitmap offset by some amount. Usually marquees / tickers scroll left so the offset increases which means the bitmap is painted at -offset. Your component runs a timer that fires periodically, incrementing the offset and invalidating itself so it repaints.
Things like wrapping are a little more complex to deal with but fairly straightforward. If the offset exceeds the bitmap width you reset it back to 0. If the offset + component width > bitmap width you paint the remainder of the component starting from the beginning of the bitmap.
The key to a decent ticker is to make the scrolling as smooth and as flicker free as possible. Therefore it may be necessary to consider double buffering the result, first painting the scrolling bit into a bitmap and then rendering that in one go rather than painting straight into the screen.

Here is some code that I threw together to get you started. I normally would take the ActionListener code and put that in some sort of MarqueeController class to keep this logic separate from the panel, but that's a different question about organizing the MVC architecture, and in a simple enough class like this it may not be so important.
There are also various animation libraries that would help you do this, but I don't normally like to include libraries into projects only to solve one problem like this.
public class MarqueePanel extends JPanel {
private JLabel textLabel;
private int panelLocation;
private ActionListener taskPerformer;
private boolean isRunning = false;
public static final int FRAMES_PER_SECOND = 24;
public static final int MOVEMENT_PER_FRAME = 5;
/**
* Class constructor creates a marquee panel.
*/
public MarqueePanel() {
this.setLayout(null);
this.textLabel = new JLabel("Scrolling Text Here");
this.panelLocation = 0;
this.taskPerformer = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
MarqueePanel.this.tickAnimation();
}
}
}
/**
* Starts the animation.
*/
public void start() {
this.isRunning = true;
this.tickAnimation();
}
/**
* Stops the animation.
*/
public void stop() {
this.isRunning = false;
}
/**
* Moves the label one frame to the left. If it's out of display range, move it back
* to the right, out of display range.
*/
private void tickAnimation() {
this.panelLocation -= MarqueePanel.MOVEMENT_PER_FRAME;
if (this.panelLocation < this.textLabel.getWidth())
this.panelLocaton = this.getWidth();
this.textLabel.setLocation(this.panelLocation, 0);
this.repaint();
if (this.isRunning) {
Timer t = new Timer(1000 / MarqueePanel.FRAMES_PER_SECOND, this.taskPerformer);
t.setRepeats(false);
t.start();
}
}
}

Add a JLabel to your frame or panel.

This is supposed to be an improvement of #camickr MarqueePanel. Please see above.
To map mouse events to the specific components added to MarqueePanel
Override add(Component comp) of MarqueePanel in order to direct all mouse events of the components
An issue here is what do do with the MouseEvents fired from the individual components.
My approach is to remove the mouse listeners form the components added and let the MarqueePanel redirect the event to the correct component.
In my case these components are supposed to be links.
#Override
public Component add(Component comp) {
comp = super.add(comp);
if(comp instanceof MouseListener)
comp.removeMouseListener((MouseListener)comp);
comp.addMouseListener(this);
return comp;
}
Then map the component x to a MarqueePanel x and finally the correct component
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
{
Component source = (Component)e.getSource();
int x = source.getX() + e.getX();
int y = source.getY();
MarqueePanel2 marqueePanel = (MarqueePanel2) ((JComponent)e.getSource()).getParent();
double x2 = marqueePanel.getWidth();
double x1 = Math.abs(marqueePanel.scrollOffset);
if(x >= x1 && x <= x2)
{
System.out.println("Bang " + x1);
Component componentAt = getComponentAt(x+marqueePanel.scrollOffset, y);
if(comp instanceof MouseListener)
((MouseListener) componentAt).mouseClicked(e);
System.out.println(componentAt.getName());
}
else
{
return;
}
//System.out.println(x);
}

How do I show only the HSV box of a JColorChooser?

In this image you can see a default Java Swing color chooser, JColorChooser:
What I want is just the color square and vertical slider as outlined in red:
I was able to remove all the tabs (Swatches, HSL, etc) and the preview, but I was unable to remove all the sliders. How can I do this?

OK, just for grins, I decided to create your desired JPanel from scratch, wiring it up in a kind of View-Controller set up, since the model here is trivial -- a Color field within the controller. To use this component you create an instance of the component, add it to your GUI where desired and simply add a PropertyChangeListener to it that listens to its COLOR property:
hsvChooserPanel.addPropertyChangeListener(HsvChooserPanel.COLOR, pce -> {
Color c = (Color) pce.getNewValue();
// do what you want with Color value, c, here
});
The test class:
Version 2: this allows use of any 3 of the HSV panel/bar combinations, either the one with the bar focused on Hue, or Saturation, or Value (here Brightness). It uses an enum, ColorProperty, that has 3 values, ColorProperty.HUE, ColorProperty.SATURATION, and ColorProperty.BRIGHTNESS, and has the calculations within the enum items themselves on how to create the color bar and the color square BufferedImages.

My solution:
colorChooser.setPreviewPanel(new JPanel());
AbstractColorChooserPanel[] panels = colorChooser.getChooserPanels();
for (AbstractColorChooserPanel accp : panels) {
if(!accp.getDisplayName().equals("HSV")) {
colorChooser.removeChooserPanel(accp);
}
}
JComponent current = (JComponent) colorChooser.getComponents()[0];
while( !current.getClass().toString().equals( "class javax.swing.colorchooser.ColorChooserPanel" ) ){
current = (JComponent) current.getComponents()[0];
}
for(Component jc : current.getComponents()){
if(!jc.getClass().toString().equals( "class javax.swing.colorchooser.DiagramComponent" )){
current.remove(jc);
}
}
This removes everything that I don't want, but I think making a custom one would be a better solution.
I am going to try trashgod's to see if it works better.

You can use the Swing Utils class to search for components of a given type on the panel.
In the example below you can find all the sliders and then make them invisible:
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.List;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.colorchooser.*;
public class ColorChooserPanel extends JPanel
{
ColorChooserPanel()
{
JColorChooser chooser = new JColorChooser();
AbstractColorChooserPanel[] panels = chooser.getChooserPanels();
for (AbstractColorChooserPanel panel: panels)
{
if ("HSL".equals(panel.getDisplayName()))
{
add( panel );
List<JSlider> sliders = SwingUtils.getDescendantsOfType(JSlider.class, panel, true);
for (JSlider slider: sliders)
{
slider.setVisible( false );
}
}
}
}
private static void createAndShowGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame("ColorChooserPanel");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.add(new ColorChooserPanel());
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationByPlatform( true );
frame.setVisible( true );
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater( () -> createAndShowGUI() );
/*
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
*/
}
}

A look at the javax.swing.colorchooser internals reveals that ColorChooserComponentFactory creates subclasses of AbstractColorChooserPanel using ColorChooserPanel and a suitable subclass of ColorModel. ColorChooserPanel holds the parts you want as two instances of DiagramComponent: the left is named diagram and the right is named slider.
Instead of removing components from an existing ColorChooserPanel, consider Creating a Custom Chooser Panel that contains just the desired elements.
class MyChooserPanel extends AbstractColorChooserPanel implements PropertyChangeListener {
private final ColorModel model;
private final DiagramComponent diagram;
private final DiagramComponent slider;
MyChooserPanel(ColorModel model) {
this.model = model;
this.diagram = new DiagramComponent(this.panel, true);
this.slider = new DiagramComponent(this.panel, false);
}
…

How to stop background graphics in java?

i try to make a simple java game . ıt work fine but i draw a background but i didn't stop square's color , it always change
i write another class for that and i call it in main but i didn't work it
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
class BackPan extends JFrame{
private JLayeredPane layers;
private JPanel down;
static int width = Board.boardWidth;
static int height = Board.boardHeight;
Random rnd = new Random();
public BackPan(){
layers = new JLayeredPane();
rnd =new Random();
down = new JPanel(){
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
//***************************************************************
int low = 50;
int high = 255;
for(int i = 0; i<= width; i+=50){
g2d.setColor(new Color(rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low,rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low,rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low));
g2d.fillRect(i, 50, 50, 50);
for(int j = 0; j<= height; j += 50 ){
g2d.setColor(new Color(rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low,rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low,rnd.nextInt(high-low)+low));
g2d.fillRect(i, j, 50, 50);
}
}
}
};
//****************************************************************
down.setBounds(0, 0, width, height);
layers.add(down, new Integer(1));
getContentPane().add(layers, BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}

Better than using a set seed for your randomization, simply fix the random image by one of two ways:
Create an array of colors that you randomize when needed and then use this array when drawing the background
Even better, simply draw your random colors to a BufferedImage and draw that in the paintComponent method. If this needs to be re-randomized, then re-create the image.
For an example of the latter, note that the image re-randomizes only when the button is pressed (by calling the createBackground() method):
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.swing.*;

An additional benefit of using a BufferedImage is that it's quicker to draw this than as you're doing it.

The simplest solution would be to remember a constant random seed and set it via rnd.setSeed() each time paintComponent is called. For example:
private final static int SEED = 1000;
rnd.setSeed(SEED);

How to remove gap in java swing label of large size

in my application I have label which has a font size over 200. This label contains big up and down (irregular)gap. How can I remove it ?
This is my code:
package Core;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class LabelDemo extends JPanel {
public LabelDemo() {
super(new GridBagLayout());
JLabel label2;
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 0;
// Create the other labels.
label2 = new JLabel("Text-Only Label");
label2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("aaaaaaaa"));
label2.setFont(new Font("Verdana", Font.PLAIN, (int) 220));
// label2.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(-50, 0, 0, 0));
// Add the labels.
add(label2, c);
}
/**
* Create the GUI and show it. For thread safety, this method should be invoked from the event dispatch thread.
*/
private static void createAndShowGUI() {
// Create and set up the window.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("LabelDemo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Add content to the window.
frame.add(new LabelDemo());
// Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Schedule a job for the event dispatch thread:
// creating and showing this application's GUI.
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Turn off metal's use of bold fonts
UIManager.put("swing.boldMetal", Boolean.FALSE);
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
}
}
I also try my last post: How to change gap in swing label and experiment with insets but this looks different in linux and windows
Is there some better way how to remove this gap ?

JDigit may give you some ideas:
It override's paintComponent() to down-sample a high-resolution BufferedImage and control the geometry.
It uses setBorderPainted(false) to set the borderPainted property.
It uses a FocusHandler for custom highlighting.
Addendum: As noted here, the underlying problem is the font's leading, defined in FontMetrics as being included in the font's height. As suggested in a comment by #Guillaume Polet, you can render the text wherever you want in your own JComponent. TextLayout, discussed here, can be used to calculate the bounds, as shown below.
Pros:
Absolute control over placement.
Geometry of TexteLayout bounds based on FontMetrics.
Cons:
No Icon support.
No HTML support.
Note that the JComponent authors "recommend that you put the component in a JPanel and set the border on the JPanel."

The "right way" to do this would be to extend "BasicLabelUI" and override the "protected String layoutCL()" method. This is the method that is responsible for laying out everything inside the label and is called when the "getPreferredSize()" of the JLabel is called. So this method determines the height the component is going to be.
If you drill down deep enough you'll see that the height is determined by the following line in the SwingUtilities:1021 class (which is used by layoutCL):
textR.height = fm.getHeight();
So the label is not causing the white space, the font is. The label just conforms to what the FontMetrics object says is the maximum height of the font for that size.
The easiest way would probably be to cheat; Force the size calculation to do something it shouldn't. Below is your example with a custom LabelUI component which you can experiment on. For example if you force the variable to 'dy' to '-40' the text will be at the top. If you want to make something more durable you could check all the leters in the string of the label, measure their maximum height and use that in the layoutCL method. But thats more work obviously.

How to move the image inside the JApplet in vertical line?

I have displayed an image(ball) inside the JApplet, now I want the image to move in a vertical way (up and down). The problem is I don't know how to do it.
Could someone has an idea about this matter?

You need to set the position of that image to some calculated value (means you caculate the vertical position using time, speed and maybe other restrictions).
How you'd set that position depends on how you draw the image.
Example, based on drawing in the applet's (or a nested component's) paint(Graphics g) method:
//first calculate the y-position
int yPos += timeSinceLastPaint * speed; //increment the position
if( (speed > 0 && yPos > someMaxY) || (speed < 0 && yPos <0 ) ) {
speed *= -1; //if the position has reached the bottom (max y) or the top invert the direction
}
//in your paint(Graphics g) method:
g.drawImage(image, yPos, x, null);
Then you'd have to constantly repaint the applet.
More information on animations in applets can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/applet.html

How to move the image inside the JApplet ..?
Pretty much exactly the same way you might do it in a JFrame, JComponent or JPanel or...
Or to put that another way, nothing to do with applets and everything to do with Graphics2D. For more details, see the 2D Graphics Trail of the Java Tutorial.
When you've figured how to move an image and paint it to a Graphics2D, implement that logic in a JComponent or JPanel's paintComponent(Graphics) method and drop the component with moving image into a JApplet or JFrame (or a JPanel etc.).
For the animation side of it, use a javax.swing.Timer as seen in this example. This example does not extend any component. Instead, it creates a BufferedImage and adds it to a JLabel that is displayed to the user. When the timer fires, the code grabs the Graphics object of the image, and proceeds from there to draw the bouncing lines.

Update 1
I want to do it in JApplet(1) using the image(2), is it possible(3)?
The examples by mKorbel and myself feature either an image in a JLabel or custom rendering in a JPanel. In our case, we added the components to a JOptionPane & a JFrame. Either example could be just as easily added to a JApplet, or a JDialog, or as part of another panel, or.. See the Laying Out Components Within a Container lesson & Using Top-Level Containers in the Java Tutorial for more details.
Instead of the stars or lines in our examples, ..paint your image. My example goes so far as to demonstrate how to get the position to bounce around within the bounds of the container.
Sure it is possible, but "Batteries not included". Our intention is to give you some ideas that you can then adapt to your bouncing ball applet. I doubt anyone is going to create an example for you, using balls, in an applet. Though if you post an SSCCE that shows your intent and what you tried, I (and others) would often run with that source. If you want more specific answers, ask a more specific SSCCE. ;)

Why not both? You can have a hybrid application/applet as shown in this animation.
