Center TEXT in JTextArea?

Is it possible to center text in a JTextArea?
I searched it but nothing on the web ... Is there another way to do this?
with JTextPane or JTextEditor?
I want just to center some text ....
Thanks

Do you want editable centered text or do you just want to display centered text and thought that JTextArea/JEditorPane/JTextPane was the only way to do it?
If you just need to display centered text, you can use JLabel with HTML tags:
Example:
String message = "<HTML><CENTER>Centered Text!!!<BR>With line breaks even!!!</CENTER><HTML>"
JLabel centered = new JLabel(message);

How to print diffrent color and diffrent size of text in JTextArea ?

JTextArea in diffrent size and diffrent color and also with diffrent

any body give me any example or help me ?
i m thanksfull.

You can't have multiple text attributes in a JTextArea.
JTextArea manages a "text/plain" content type document that can't hold information about attributes ( color, font, size, etc.) for different portions of text.
You need a component that can manage styled documents. The most basic component that can do this is JEditorPane. It can manage the following content types :
"text/rtf" ==> via StyledDocument
"text/html" ==> via HTMLDocument
I've written for you an example of how a "Hello World" string could be colorized in a JEditorPane with "Hello" in red and "World" in blue.
import javax.swing.JEditorPane;
import javax.swing.text.StyleConstants;
import javax.swing.text.StyledEditorKit;
import javax.swing.text.StyledDocument;
import javax.swing.text.MutableAttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.SimpleAttributeSet;
import java.awt.Color;
public class ColorizeTextTest{
     public static void main(String args[]){
          //build gui
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane();
          frame.getContentPane().add(editorPane);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);
          //create StyledEditorKit
          StyledEditorKit editorKit = new StyledEditorKit();
          //set this editorKit as the editor manager [JTextComponent] <-> [EditorKit] <-> [Document]
          editorPane.setEditorKit(editorKit);
          StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument) editorPane.getDocument();
          //insert string "Hello World"
          //this text is going to be added to the StyledDocument with positions 0 to 10
          editorPane.setText("Hello World");
          //create and attribute set
          MutableAttributeSet atr = new SimpleAttributeSet();
          //set foreground color attribute to RED
          StyleConstants.setForeground(atr,Color.RED);
          //apply attribute to the word "Hello"
          int offset = 0; //we want to start applying this attribute at position 0
          int length = 5; //"Hello" string has a length of 5
          boolean replace = false; //should we override any other attribute not specified in "atr" : anwser "NO"
          doc.setCharacterAttributes(offset,length,atr,replace);
          //set foreground color attribute to BLUE
          StyleConstants.setForeground(atr,Color.BLUE);
          //apply attribute to the word "World"
          offset = 5; //we include the whitespace
          length = 6;
          doc.setCharacterAttributes(offset,length,atr,replace);
}

Vertically Center Text in a Text Box

Just switched form Acrobt 6 to Acrobat Pro 9 and can't figure out how to verically center text in a text box. When I select the text it gives me the properties bar shown below:
Seems like a really dumb question because I know I could in Acrobat 6 and I don't know why they would take away that feature, but I can't find it anwywhere.

The only time the More button is enabled is when I have the Text Box selected, and then the options pertain to the line weight, etc. of the box and not the text. When I select the text the More button is not enabled and the only options properties are the ones shown above.
I made the Text Box by going to "Tools", "Comment & Markup", "Text Box Tool". I have not seen anything that says Multiline and when I searched help it only talked about multiline fields in forms.
Thanks for the quick responses.

How to center text in shapes

how to center text in shapes. specifically circles. I want text to be centered directly in the middle

A lot depends on what you mean by centered, the number of lines of text, the actual font, and whether there are descenders.
Using vertical justification set to centered may or may not work for you, depending on the above factors, as it depends on the baseline, I believe, rather than the acutal glyph dimensions. You could try adding baseline shift, I suppose, to make fine vertical adjustments, or you can bite the bullet and use the old-fashioned method of two frames.

Center Text in TextField Dynamically

How on earth do you center text within a text field
dynamically....e.g. textField.align = "center" or
textField.autoSize = "center" ....nothing works?
BTW...is it just me or is the adobe site just plain slow and
almost unusable to everyone else too. It has to be one of the
slowest loading sites I visit and the menu at top takes forever to
load completely also, Has there been discussion on that?

You are using the align property incorrectly. You do not
apply it directly to the textfield but to the textformat property.
var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
format.align = "center";
textField.setTextFormat(format);

Center text in photobook

how do I center text in a photobook?
thank you

JASCHI:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to copy the text that you've entered, past it in a text editor where you can change the alignment to center, recopy and then repast into the book text field. Be sure to check the text by creating a pdf of the book before ordering to make sure it gets rendered as you want.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Center text inside shape in titler?

Is there any way to center text inside a shape within the titler? For example let's say I use the Rounded Rectangle Tool to create a shape and put it in the lower third of title area, then use the Text Tool to type in a line of text. For now I'm having to manually position the text over the shape. Curious if there is anyway to get the equivalent of the Center buttons for a text on shape situation? If my question / situation doesn't make sense here, I can post a screen shot. Thanks.

Once a post has a Reply, the OP cannot Edit, or Delete it - only a MOD can do so.
However, as others might encounter the same issue, and could learn from this thread, I think that it would be good to keep it up.
Yes, both Objects (whether Text, Shape, etc.) need to be Selected, to use the Alignment Tools. Glad that you found that.
Good luck,
Hunt

Center text vertically in 6i

I was wondering if there was a way to center text vertically in a text field in forms 6i.
I have a banner at the top of my form as a text item, and I need the value(s) to be centered horizontally(which I have already done) and vertically which I am wondering how to do. Could someone please tell me how?
TIA
C

It does not. It's specific to table cells, or things with the
table-cell
display style.

How do I center text in Final cut Pro?

Hi, does anyone know how to directly center text with more than one line of text in Final Cut Pro?
If I have more than one line it doesn't seem to center properly. I've tried wireframe (which is inaccurate), center values (which doesn't work) and Boris 3D (which does the job but the space between letters isn't accurate so I need to try an alternative method).
Any ideas?

In Title 3D you use the Position X/Y button to adjust the height. The spacing between the letters in Title 3D can be adjusted both in tracking and in kerning by placing the cursor between a letter pair. Title 3D is perhaps one of the most accurate and precise text positioning titlers available in any software.

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?

How do you center text in a JOptionPane?
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File(s) Moved Successfully","Finished", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

Instead of adding the string "File(s)...", create a
JPanel. Add your text as a JLabel to this JPanel
using the appropriate LayoutManager. Now add the
JPanel in place of "File(s)..." in the
showMesageDialog call.Or just use a JLabel, set its alignment to center and add the label instead of the string.

How to center text in Pages to show correctly on iBook Reader

Hi,
First, I have to say that I posted the same question on ''Creating ePubs'' discussioun page but nobody could help.
I am trying something really easy but could not solve it. Hope someone can help.
Ok, I know that if I choose ''Chapte Name'' as a pharagraph style, iBook reader automatically puts it into a new page, so the new page starts with the chapter name on top. I dont have any problems with my chapters.
However, I want my book to start with a page that has a brief info about the author. I want this info in the middle of the page (also centered in the middle). Than I want to go to the second page with a ''dedication'' part where I write my thanks to people. I also want this in the middle and centered. And finally I want to add my book title and author name together on the 3rd page. After that the chapters will start.
So, as I told you, the chapters work just fine. But when I try to center the text in the first 3 pages, (I press return several times on my keybord to do it) the pages interwine with each other. For example, the last part of page 2 goes on top of page 3.
I think this happens because I press the return key to center the texts. So, is there a way to lock texts to the pages where they belong to prevent them to interwine with other pages even if I press return to center the text
OR
Is there another way to center text to prevent them to interwine with other pages...
Thank you

One of the consequences of working all night on this was that there is errata, or improved insight.
As I mentioned previously, each of the four document parts that I tested is in its own section. This means that each of the first three document icons, in thumbnail view, has its own distinct yellow race track around it. The chapter/body text is in a fourth multi-page section.
On the first page, with invisibles and layout mode shown, I have a ¶ (pilcrow) showing on line 1, column 1. If I place the cursor before this mark, the text inspector shows the following:
Style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line spacing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 172 pt.
After paragraph is set to 6 pt.
Now, if I place the cursor before the About the Author string:
Ruler set to 1.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0%
Line Spscing is single (1)
Before paragraph is set to 196 pt
After paragraph is set to 6 pt
Place cursor between end of Author and Pilcrow and press return.
With the cursor before the author description:
Style is body
My font choice was Baskerville, Regular 12 pt.
Left ruler set to 1.6 inches. Right ruler to 6.2 inches.
Character spacing is -4%
Line-height is set at multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 12 pt.
Position cursor between last character and pilcrow - press return.
Insert section break
This is all there is too my first page:
For the Dedication page:
Line 1, Col 1 has the pilcrow and style is body
Character spacing is 0%
Line height is single (1)
Before and After paragraph are set to 0
With the cursor just before Dedication:
Left ruler set at 2.6 inches
Style is Heading 1
Character spacing is 0
Line height is 1.5
Before paragraph set to 190 pt
After paragraph set to 0 (yeah, raised my eyebrow too)
Place cursor between trailing n and pilcrow, press return.
With cursor on first line of names, just prior to first character:
Style is body text with Baskerville Regular 12 pt override.
Text justification is left.
Left ruler is set to 2.9 inches
Right ruler is set to 6.7 inches
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is 1.2
Before and after paragraph are 0
Insert cursor before last Pilcrow and press return
On the next line, there is a Pilcrow at col 1, place the cursor in front of it.
Style is body style
Character spacing is 0
Line-height is multiple (1.2)
Before paragraph is 0
After paragraph is 216 pt.
Press return to set the jump.
Insert section break
You can likely insert step 14 at step 7 and skip 9 - 13. It was late.
The Dedication page looks like this:
Hopefully, you missed something, or it wasn't sufficiently explained previously. I hope you can duplicate the above and discover unique, centered content in your ePub.
