Label Help

Help is available for each task, or you can go straight to the Label source code to see a solution.

Task 1

Create an applet called LabelTest and set the layout manager to GridLayout(3,1).

Using a GridLayout will stretch the region inhabited by our labels to the applet width. In this way, the Label.CENTER etc. attributes will be obvious.

import java.awt.*;

public class LabelTest extends java.applet.Applet {
    public void init() {
        setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
    }
}

Task 2

Create and add three Label objects with labels "Left label", "Right label", and "Center label," aligned to the left, right, and center respectively.

public class LabelTest extends java.applet.Applet {
    public void init() {
        setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1));
        add(new Label("Left label"));
        add(new Label("Center label", Label.CENTER));
        add(new Label("Right label", Label.RIGHT));
    }
}
