Pages of text on a JPanel












0















I need to print a lot of text to something on a JPanel in a way that allows the text to be broken up into pages. When I run the code, it looks like this:
enter image description here



My code currently creates a JPanel and adds a JTextArea to the JPanel with text called from another class. Does anyone know of a method I could use to break up the text into pages? Thanks

  • "Does anyone know of a method I could use to break up the text into pages?" A JScrollPane (wrapped around the JTextArea) is good for this type of requirement. In fact, on a computer screen, a scroll works better than 'pages' as appear in a physical book.

Try breaking text into array of lines and then display pre defined number of lines as a page. Change start and end line numbers based on click of Page Up or Page down click.



String lines = text.split("\r?\n");

  • Thanks! I used a for loop to append the strings to the JTextArea, but they're all printing on a single line now.

  • If you are putting text in JLabel object, wrap text in html tags. For example <html>sample text</html>
