e748. Moving the Label/Icon Pair in a JButton ComponentWhen the size of the button component is larger than its contents, the label and icon are always kept together. In fact, the gap size (see e749 Setting the Gap Size Between the Label and Icon in a JButton Component) determines the fixed distance between them. Using two alignment methods, you can place the label/icon pair in one of nine possible locations.// To create a button with an icon, see e746 Adding an Icon to a JButton Component // Place the contents in the nw corner button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT); // Place the contents centered at the top button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); // Place the contents in the ne corner button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT); // Place the contents in the sw corner button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT); // Place the contents centered at the bottom button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); // Place the contents in the se corner button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT); // Place the contents vertically centered on the left button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT); // Place the contents directly in the center button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); // Place the contents vertically centered on the right button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER); button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
