Text width/height (original) (raw)

How do I find out the size of rendered text?

Specifically, I want to draw text in the middle of a JPanel. Something like this:

public void paint (Graphics g)
{
    int x = getWidth()/2 - getTextWidth ("String")/2;
    int y = getHeight()/2 - getTextHeight ("String")/2;
    g.drawString ("String", x, y);
}

Except, of course, that getTextWidth and getTextHeight don't exist, so what do I need to use?

• Always something new to learn

It seems that you can override a concrete method and make it abstract. I actually came across some code that did this, so I had to check how it…
