    int w = 200;
    int h = 200;
    
    int x = (w - stringWidth) / 2;
    int baseline = fm.getMaxAscent() +
                       (h - (fm.getAscent() + fm.getMaxDecent()))/2;
    int ascent  = fm.getMaxAscent();
    int descent = fm.getMaxDecent();
    int fontHeight = fm.getMaxAscent() + fm.getMaxDecent();

    g.setColor(Color.white);
    g.fillRect(x, baseline-ascent , stringWidth, fontHeight);

    g.setColor(Color.gray);
    g.drawLine(x, baseline, x+stringWidth, baseline);

    g.setColor(Color.red);
    g.drawLine(x, baseline+descent, x+stringWidth, baseline+descent);

    g.setColor(Color.blue);
    g.drawLine(x, baseline-ascent,
               x+stringWidth, baseline-ascent);
    g.setColor(Color.black);
    g.drawString(s, x, baseline);

  }
