POForce Horizontal Tab Text on Left Aligned JTabbedPane
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to make a JTabbedPane in Java 7 on OSX that has tabs positioned to the left with their text horizontal (instead of vertical). However, with the code:</p> <pre><code>import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.Dimension; class Probs extends JDialog { JTabbedPane options = new JTabbedPane(); Probs(JFrame owner) { //main constructor super(owner, "User Preferences", true); //set the tabs to be left aligned options.setTabPlacement(JTabbedPane.LEFT); //construct the authorization panel JPanel authorization = new JPanel(); authorization.add(new JLabel("test")); options.addTab("test", authorization); add(options); setSize(new Dimension(300,300)); //should use pack here setResizable(false); setLocationRelativeTo(null); setVisible(true); } public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame test = new JFrame(); new Probs(test); test.dispose(); } } </code></pre> <p>I get a dialog box which looks like: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/xGcndG1.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this image</a> </p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/xGcndG1.png" ></p> <p>I would like the tab text to be horizontal (the 'test' title on the tab be oriented horizontally instead of vertically). </p> <p>I searched around on Google for a while and have only run into occurrences wherein people wanted to achieve vertical text on their tabs, I could not manage to locate any in which people wanted to have horizontal text (what I am trying to achieve).</p> <p>In particular, I am trying to achieve something which exactly looks like the image mentioned in the first post of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8970930/vertical-orientation-of-jtabbedpane-titles-when-the-the-tab-placement-is-set-to">this</a> question. It is basically the exact opposite of that question because the person in that tab started with what I am trying to achieve (I believe). Basically, I am trying to determine how to create the image displayed in the first post of that question.</p> <p>Can someone please tell me how to have left-oriented tabs while preserving horizontal tab titles (as opposed to vertical)?</p> <p>Thank you for your time and assistance.</p>
