Moving the Label/Icon Pair in a JButton Component
When the size of the button component is larger than its contents, the
label and icon are always kept together. In fact, the gap size (see
Setting the Gap Size Between the Label and Icon in a JButton Component) determines the fixed distance
between them. Using two alignment methods, you can place the
label/icon pair in one of nine possible locations.
// To create a button with an icon, see Adding an Icon to a JButton Component
// Place the contents in the nw corner
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
// Place the contents centered at the top
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
// Place the contents in the ne corner
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
// Place the contents in the sw corner
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
// Place the contents centered at the bottom
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
// Place the contents in the se corner
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
// Place the contents vertically centered on the left
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
// Place the contents directly in the center
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
// Place the contents vertically centered on the right
button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
button.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT);
