Mixing
Java JPanel used as Canvas to draw text from keyboard input
I'm trying to make a Java11 GUI with Swing and I'm using a JPanel as a Canvas to draw on it images/drawing and I do also want to introduce some text on the Panel so that I can export the whole content of JPanel later.
Thought about using drawString() method in my PaintComponent() method, so should I use a JOptionPane to insert keyboard input or there are other better practices to write directly on JPanel until Enter key press or Escape.
Also, the main question I have regarding this, how I can make the text to be wrapped on multiple lines?
java keyboard jpanel
