Two panels that display labels

Common constructors and methods of the JLabel class

How to work with labels

• The JLabel class defines a label component that can be used to display text on the panel.
• If you need to refer to a label in code, you can
1. assign it to a variable and then add that variable to the panel or
2. create the label and add it to the panel in a single statement.

A class that creates the Label One panel

class LabelPanel extends JPanel
{
    private JLabel labelOne;

    public LabelPanel()
    {
        labelOne = new JLabel("Label One");
        this.add(labelOne);
    }
}

A class that creates the Future Value panel

class FutureValuePanel extends JPanel
{
    public FutureValuePanel()
    {
        this.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
        this.add(new JLabel("Monthly Payment:"));
        this.add(new JLabel("Yearly Interest Rate:"));
        this.add(new JLabel("Number of Years:"));
        this.add(new JLabel("Future Value:"));
    }
}
