All Swing components derive from the abstract javax.swing.JComponent class.
The following are the JComponent class's methods to manipulate the appearance of the component.
| public int getWidth () | Returns the current width of this component in pixel. |
| public int getHeight () | Returns the current height of this component in pixel. |
| public int getX() | Returns the current x coordinate of the component's top-left corner. |
| public int getY () | Returns the current y coordinate of the component's top-left corner. |
| public java.awt.Graphics getGraphics() | Returns this component's Graphics object you can draw on. This is useful if you want to change the appearance of a component. |
| public void setBackground (java.awt.Color bg) | Sets this component's background color. |
| public void setEnabled (boolean enabled) | Sets whether or not this component is enabled. |
| public void setFont (java.awt.Font font) | Set the font used to print text on this component. |
| public void setForeground (java.awt.Color fg) | Set this component's foreground color. |
| public void setToolTipText(java.lang.String text) | Sets the tool tip text. |
| public void setVisible (boolean visible) | Sets whether or not this component is visible. |
