In this code snippet you’ll see how to define JRadioButton
label position. By default, the label will be displayed on the right side of the button. In the code below you will see some examples for placing the label on the left side, at the top and the bottom of the JRadioButton
.
To define the label position we use the combination of the setHorizontalTextPosition()
and setVerticalTextPosition()
method and specified the position using one of the available constant in SwingConstants
interface.
package org.kodejava.swing;
import javax.swing.*;
public class RadioButtonLabelPosition {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
// Create JRadioButton with label on the right
JRadioButton button1 = new JRadioButton("Button One");
button1.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
// Create JRadioButton with label on the left
JRadioButton button2 = new JRadioButton("Button Two");
button2.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);
// Create JRadioButton with label at the bottom centered.
JRadioButton button3 = new JRadioButton("Button Three");
button3.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
button3.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
// Create JRadioButton with label at the top centered.
JRadioButton button4 = new JRadioButton("Button Four");
button4.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.TOP);
button4.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
panel.add(button1);
panel.add(button2);
panel.add(button3);
panel.add(button4);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setSize(500, 300);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
