Re: When resizing text to fill a JLabel the text sometimes "jiggles", how do I fix this?

Show all headers | View raw

When I've needed to do something like this, my outermost GUI container (a 
JPanel) has been sized to fit the screen (size expressed in pixels).
All labels, Text areas, etc are auto-scaled to match by expressing their 
sizes as percentages of the outermost container and the font scaled to 
match: during initialisation I construct a font with that size and use it 
everywhere, the benefit being that I don't need to resize and fonts after 
the program has been initialised.

Modified Font construction is easy:

import java.awt.Font;

public class MyFont extends Font
{
   private int fontsize;    /* in pts */

   public EditFont(int fontsize)
   {
      super("Monospaced", PLAIN, fontsize);
      this.fontsize = fontsize;
   }
}

...and add any other methods you need in order to size a JLabel, etc, to 
contain a given string.
