e873. Creating and Setting a BorderThere are several types of borders available, each represented by its own class. A border can be created using the class' constructor or using a border factory. The border factory is the typical method for creating a border since it creates the border using values that are compatible with the current look and feel. However, if custom values are required, the border should be created using a constructor.This example creates one of each of the available borders. See also e874 Adding a Title to a Border. // Create a border EmptyBorder emptyBorder = (EmptyBorder)BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(); LineBorder lineBorder = (LineBorder)BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black); EtchedBorder etchedBorder = (EtchedBorder)BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(); BevelBorder raisedBevelBorder = (BevelBorder)BorderFactory.createRaisedBevelBorder(); BevelBorder loweredBevelBorder = (BevelBorder)BorderFactory.createLoweredBevelBorder(); ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("image.gif"); MatteBorder matteBorder = (MatteBorder)BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(-1, -1, -1, -1, icon); // Set the border component.setBorder(emptyBorder);
