Basic AWT Component: Label

• This is an area where text can be displayed in the window.

• Create an instance of the Label class and add it to the window:

  • Label label1 = new Label ( "aligned left");
  • add (label1);

• Another constructor allows a second argument which is an alignment: Label.LEFT, Label.CENTER, or Label.RIGHT

  • Label label2 = new Label ("aligned right", Label.RIGHT);

• Method setText allows you to change the String in the Label, and getText() returns the current String

  • label2.setText("another message");
