Canvas on Swing Components

by **anjana.sasidhar** » Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:31 am

HI,

I am new to HTML5. My application requires some graphics like rectangle, circle to be displayed on swing components like Jlabel or JFrame. I read about the <canvas> element which can draw rectangles and other shapes.But my question is can i draw these on JButtons or JLabels like the old html tags. If possible can you point me to the right place where i can read more of it.

Regards,
Anjana

I think you're either mixing up JavaScript and Java, or you're referring to a particular implementation of HTML (possibly just a subset).

I am refering to the <canvas> tag in HTML5, which uses java script to draw images. My question is can i do something like
JButton button = new JButton("<HTML><canvas>....</canvas></HTML>")

That is a Java question.

I'm fairly certain Java Swing only supports a subset of HTML. It's doubtful any support for HTML5 elements exists at all.

You should probably look for a Java community to ask these questions in, though.
