// You might want to add frame.setVisible(true) to be the very last line. Sometimes with Mac, the components won't appear until you resize the window

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.border.Border;

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// JLabel = a GUI display area for a string of text, an image, or both

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("dude.png");
Border border = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.green, 3);

JLabel label = new JLabel(); //create a label
label.setText("bro, do you even code?"); //set text of label
label.setIcon(image);
//set text LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT of imageicon
//set text TOP, CENTER, BOTTOM of imageicon
label.setForeground(new Color(0x00FF00)); //set font color of text
label.setFont(new Font("MV Boli", Font.PLAIN, 100)); //set font of text
label.setIconTextGap(-25); //set gap of text to image
//set background color
label.setOpaque(true); //display background color
//label.setBorder(border); //sets border of label (not image+text)
//set vertical position of icon+text within label
//set horizontal position of icon+text within label
//label.setBounds(100, 100, 250, 250); //set x, y position within frame as well as dimensions

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

//frame.setSize(500, 500);
//frame.setLayout(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.add(label);
frame.pack();
}

This lesson has much more information than usual .
I have made some references for each code and would like to share with you guys .

Hope this will make it more clear to you .

package testing;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
import javax.swing.BorderFactory;

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {

// create an image for label .
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("src/烈日戰士.png") ;

// create boundary lines for label and set their color and size .
Border border =, 5) ;

// Setup the label

// create a label .
JLabel label = new JLabel() ;
label.setBackground(new Color(0xABF095)) ;

// It is used after setting the background color .
// true : paint every pixel within the bounds of label .
label.setOpaque(true) ;

// Apply the boundary lines to the label .
label.setBorder(border) ;

// set the position and dimensions of label bounds within the frame .
// Before using the code below, add <frame.setLayout(null) ;> to set a layout for label first .
label.setBounds(0, 0, 500, 500) ; // (x, y, width, height)

// Text of label

// Another style : <JLabel label = new JLabel("Nice to meet you !") ;>
label.setText("Nice to meet you !");

// set "type of font", font style, font size .
// ("MV Boli", "Helvetica", "Futura", ……), (plain, bold, italic)
label.setFont(new Font("MV Boli", Font.PLAIN, 20)) ;

// set the font color .
label.setForeground(new Color(0x4878F5)) ;

// Position of components in label

// add the image into the label .
label.setIcon(image) ;

// set the position of label text within the label bounds .
; // Left or CENTER or RIGHT
; // TOP or CENTER or BOTTOM

// set the position of label image within the label bounds .
;
;

// set the distance between the text block and the image .
// negative and positive are both available .
label.setIconTextGap(0) ;

// Setup the frame .

// we need a frame to hold components(e.g. label) .
JFrame frame = new JFrame() ;
frame.setVisible(true) ;

// exit when you click [X] on the top-right corner .
// "JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE" : hide but still running in the background thread .
: disable the [X] button .
;
frame.setSize(500, 500) ; // still manually resizable .

// Add component to the frame .

frame.add(label) ;

// set a layout for the label to set bounds .
frame.setLayout(null) ;

// By using the code below, system will auto-resize the frame in order to accommodate all the components you add to the frame, no matter if size of components change .
// use <frame.add()> to add all your components to your frame first, disable <frame.setLayout(null)> and <label.setBounds()> before you use the code below .
// frame.pack() ;
}
}

Knowing that you made a video about labels actually exited me to learn about labels and I thought about it all day today and yesterday until I finally got a chance to watch it tonight. Gotta say, it's my favorite tutorial i've watched

If the Image Icon is not showing up you can try:

'ImageIcon *name* = new

instead of
'ImageIcon *name * = new ImageIcon(*FilePath*);'

From Java17 onwards use "LEADING" instead of "TOP" to avoid exception

Makes me really appreciate JavaScript with css. This would have taken me like 8 lines of css to accomplish this. Great to have this option in Java thiugh
