Label text position
label.setContentDisplay(ContentDisplay.TOP);
Play with this to see the effect of the different alignment settings:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Insets;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ComboBox;
import javafx.scene.control.ContentDisplay;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;
import javafx.scene.text.TextAlignment;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class LabelGraphicAlignmentTest extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
BorderPane root = new BorderPane();
Label label = new Label("Some\ntext");
label.setGraphic(new ImageView(getClass().getResource("/images/Folder-icon.png").toExternalForm()));
label.setMaxWidth(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
label.setMaxHeight(Double.POSITIVE_INFINITY);
label.setStyle("-fx-border-color: blue;");
root.setCenter(label);
ComboBox<ContentDisplay> contentDisplayBox = new ComboBox<>();
contentDisplayBox.getItems().addAll(ContentDisplay.values());
contentDisplayBox.getSelectionModel().select(ContentDisplay.LEFT);
label.contentDisplayProperty().bind(contentDisplayBox.valueProperty());
ComboBox<Pos> alignmentBox = new ComboBox<>();
alignmentBox.getItems().addAll(Pos.values());
alignmentBox.getSelectionModel().select(Pos.CENTER);
label.alignmentProperty().bind(alignmentBox.valueProperty());
ComboBox<TextAlignment> textAlignmentBox = new ComboBox<>();
textAlignmentBox.getItems().addAll(TextAlignment.values());
textAlignmentBox.getSelectionModel().select(TextAlignment.LEFT);
label.textAlignmentProperty().bind(textAlignmentBox.valueProperty());
GridPane ctrls = new GridPane();
ctrls.setHgap(5);
ctrls.setVgap(5);
ctrls.setPadding(new Insets(10));
ctrls.addRow(0, new Label("Content display:"), new Label("Alignment:"), new Label("Text Alignment:"));
ctrls.addRow(1, contentDisplayBox, alignmentBox, textAlignmentBox);
root.setTop(ctrls);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 250);
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
I had to center the text of a label which acted like a title. The following code snippet did the trick.
final Label title = new Label("Some text");
title.setMaxWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);
title.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
Good programming :-)
