How can I center text in a JTextArea?

I'm coding my own little font selection frame, and want to display the sample text in a JTextArea, and want to know how I can get the text centered in the field. Does anyone know how this can be done? Thanks.

Thanks Camrick, I'm disappointed that it will take so much to accomplish this. But I'm very appreciative of your response, and I will definitely put that code to use. Just not in time to turn in my assignment, lol. But thats ok, this function was beyond the requirements anyway, I just wanted to put in some bells and whistles.
Cheers!

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 get the text present in JTextArea

i am writing application for some system to be computerised and i am not getting how to get the text present in text area and set it into database...can anybody suggest me solution??

You must have named the TextArea like
JTextArea textArea;so, use the getText() method like
String strTextAreaContents = textArea.getText();You can then use JDBC to connect to the database that you want and save your contents that is now in strTextAreaContents.

In CS6 how do I center text please!

How do I print something in CS6 and for it to be centered on the page. I got the Ctrl+T and I see the middle of the page, then pulled over the handle to center on the page but when I go to type on the center line...the type moves and all the text goes to the right. The old CS4 would just let me type and as long as I started in the center of the page the type would move and center itself.

Hi,
Did you try enabling Center text in the type alignment options before entering the text?

How do I center text w/o CSS?

Just upgraded from an old version. I just need to exit some text in HTML only, no need for CSS.
How do I turn off CSS editing and just have good old html editing? This is for websites that i put my info that is straight html, no css.
I can't even find out how to make text centered! Sure, I can go and manually enter the code, but where are the left, center, right icons for simple text editing, the controls are overwhelming for us non-geeks.

These options on now found on the CSS properties box. If you want to make shorter work for yourself, begin each project with a basic.css containing styles you use often.
Example CSS:
.left {text-align:left}
.center {text-align: center}
.right {text-align: right}
HTML
<p class="center">Here is some centered text</p>

How to wrap the text in a jTextArea

Hello all,
I am currently developing a simple simulation program for our scientific research group. My boss asked me to employ the program with a GUI. However, I am new to Java Swing. It is nice to have you guys that may provide a helping hand to my problem.
My problem is with the jTextArea. Because my result to be displayed in jTextArea is lengthy and its length varies. The way I extract the result is to use a String to hold all of the results and directly pass it to the jTextArea. However, It is lope-sided and not quite user-friendly. Is there any function that I can use so that the text can be wrapped and that the user doesn't need to scroll left or right to view the results?
Thanks in advance(:

you're a developer (new to swing is irrelevant) and you don't know how to read the api docs?
there are only 6 set...() methods (apart from inherited) and what you want is 2 of them.

How can I center text?

Maybe this question has been asked before, but I have been trying to center a line of text with spaces, and am nearly about to pull my hair out.
Is there any way to center a line of text?

Are you writing a plugin to Acrobat in C/C++?
If so, then you should start reading the documentation in the SDK about
the various data structures and programming model for the SDK. You can
also look at the sample code as well.
There are APIs there for doing all these things - you simply have to put
them together in the right order...

How to vertically center text within its container

Whether in a button, or a text element, I see no way to center the text that you type *vertically* in the container. I'm not talking about within the box element. I mean just the text element itself. If I size out a text area and start typing in it, I should be able to say center it vertically. That's what I'm looking for anyway. Help much appreciated.

Text elements cannot be vertically centered as they are not containers. However, you can fake that somewhat by making the line-height very large. But this means if you have text spanning two lines it would be very far apart though

How do you center text vertically?

i've looked through everything and i cant seem to figure it out. please help

Unfortunately, after a TON of research, and a couple of hours of lost sleep, this is a limitation of the program. In other words, Pages does not do this.
The work around is to create a text box. Pages will horizontally center lines of text there, but not on an entire page.
Now, if you are like me, and need to create an APA style paper, with a cover page, and save it as a word doc, this work around is worthless due to yet another limitation of the program. The text box will not port into word.
I hope this answer saves you a little bit of time going to bed, instead of sitting up half the night looking for a common sense feature that does not exist.
