Rotate JLabel containing a imgicon

Question

I want to rotate a jlabel when its clicked. The label is containing a imgicon.
I have tried to do like
http://www.codeguru.com/java/articles/199.shtml
but the label dont rotate, just the image (i think).
The image image is a vertical filled rectangle, but when i try to click it, it becomes a square...
The code for adding the ship to the contentpane
ImageIcon img = new ImageIcon("bigship.gif");
JLabel jLship =      new JLabel( "ship", img, SwingConstants.LEFT );
jLship.setName("ship");
jLship.setBounds(
     ship.getPosition().x * (jlPOpoGame.getWidth() / 11) + 5,
     ship.getPosition().y * (jlPOpoGame.getHeight() / 11) + 5,
     img.getIconWidth(),
     img.getIconHeight());
getJPOwnGame().add(jLship ,new Integer(1), 0);And the code for changing the label inside a mouselistener.
selected.setUI(new VerticalLabelUI(true));And the code for the UI:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.*;
class VerticalLabelUI extends BasicLabelUI
     static {
          labelUI = new VerticalLabelUI(false);
     protected boolean clockwise;
     VerticalLabelUI( boolean clockwise )
          super();
          this.clockwise = clockwise;
    public Dimension getPreferredSize(JComponent c)
         Dimension dim = super.getPreferredSize(c);
         return new Dimension( dim.height, dim.width );
    private static Rectangle paintIconR = new Rectangle();
    private static Rectangle paintTextR = new Rectangle();
    private static Rectangle paintViewR = new Rectangle();
    private static Insets paintViewInsets = new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0);
     public void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c)
        JLabel label = (JLabel)c;
        String text = label.getText();
        Icon icon = (label.isEnabled()) ? label.getIcon() : label.getDisabledIcon();
        if ((icon == null) && (text == null)) {
            return;
        FontMetrics fm = g.getFontMetrics();
        paintViewInsets = c.getInsets(paintViewInsets);
        paintViewR.x = paintViewInsets.left;
        paintViewR.y = paintViewInsets.top;
         // Use inverted height & width
        paintViewR.height = c.getWidth() - (paintViewInsets.left + paintViewInsets.right);
        paintViewR.width = c.getHeight() - (paintViewInsets.top + paintViewInsets.bottom);
        paintIconR.x = paintIconR.y = paintIconR.width = paintIconR.height = 0;
        paintTextR.x = paintTextR.y = paintTextR.width = paintTextR.height = 0;
        String clippedText =
            layoutCL(label, fm, text, icon, paintViewR, paintIconR, paintTextR);
         Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
         AffineTransform tr = g2.getTransform();
         if( clockwise )
              g2.rotate( Math.PI / 2 );
              g2.translate( 0, - c.getWidth() );
         else
              g2.rotate( - Math.PI / 2 );
              g2.translate( - c.getHeight(), 0 );
         if (icon != null) {
            icon.paintIcon(c, g, paintIconR.x, paintIconR.y);
        if (text != null) {
            int textX = paintTextR.x;
            int textY = paintTextR.y + fm.getAscent();
            if (label.isEnabled()) {
                paintEnabledText(label, g, clippedText, textX, textY);
            else {
                paintDisabledText(label, g, clippedText, textX, textY);
         g2.setTransform( tr );
}Why dont the JLabel rotate?

Answer 1

I found the error, but one new occured... :(
I rotate the label with
selected.setBounds(e.getX(), e.getY(), selected.getHeight(), selected.getWidth());But the rotation works fine only one time, then it gets wrong! Look at
http://mrserver.pointclark.net/tmp/rotate.jpg
to how it looks.
Picture 1: Start position.
Picture 2: First click, rotate around where i clicked, OK.
Picture 3: Second click, the image gets cropped! The label is rotated thoug, i can select it and drag it if i click where the image should be.
Picture 4: Third click. The image is back to horizontal, looks ok!
And then it switched between 3 and 4 when i continue to click!
Can somebody help me?
