Question

Swing components : vertical text question

Answer 1

+4 A:

You can use HTML for JButton or JLabel. So

button = new JButton("<html>J<br>b<br>u<br>t<br>t<br>o<br>n<br>1</html>");

should do the trick.

Answer 2

+5 A:

I don't know if this is useful to you, but this sample shows how to make a vertical label. The difference is that it rotates all of the text (and/or the icon) instead of stacking the letters. I don't know how difficult it would be to modify it to do what you're asking.

The advantage of doing it this way is if your labels can change at runtime; generating big HTML strings might be a pain compared to a simple label.setUI(new VerticalLabelUI(true)); (and you don't have to worry about <> in the label text).
