14. Creating and Setting an EtchedBorder from BorderFactory

   <source lang="java">

import javax.swing.BorderFactory; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder; public class Main {

 public static void main(String[] argv) {
   
   EtchedBorder etchedBorder = (EtchedBorder)BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder();
   JLabel component = new JLabel("label");
   component.setBorder(etchedBorder);
 }

}</source>

14. Creating EtchedBorder with its Constructor

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Color; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder; public class EtchedBorderSample {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sample Borders");
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   Border etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED, Color.RED, Color.PINK);
   
   JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Bevel");
   aLabel.setBorder(etchedBorder);
   aLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
   frame.add(aLabel);
   frame.setSize(400, 200);
   frame.setVisible(true);
 }

}</source>

14. EtchedBorder

1. An etched border produces either an etched-in or etched-out effect.
2. You can specify the type of etching using the field LOWERED or RAISED.
3. By default, the etched border is of type etched-in.

   <source lang="java">

public EtchedBorder() Border etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder();

public EtchedBorder(int etchType) Border etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED);

public EtchedBorder(Color highlight, Color shadow) Border etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder(Color.RED, Color.PINK);

public EtchedBorder(int etchType, Color highlight, Color shadow) Border etchedBorder = new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED, Color.RED, Color.PINK);

public static Border createEtchedBorder() Border etchedBorder = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder();

public static Border createEtchedBorder(Color highlight, Color shadow) Border etchedBorder = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(Color.RED, Color.PINK);

public static Border createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED) Border etchedBorder = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(Color.RED, Color.PINK);

public static Border createEtchedBorder(int type, Color highlight, Color shadow) Border etchedBorder = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED, Color.RED, Color.PINK);</source>

14. Raised and Lowered EtchedBorder

   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.Container; import java.awt.GridLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder; public class AnEtchedBorder {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame("Etched Borders");
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   
   Border raisedBorder = new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED);
   Border loweredBorder = new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED);
   JButton raisedButton = new JButton("Raised");
   raisedButton.setBorder(raisedBorder);
   
   JButton loweredButton = new JButton("Lowered");
   loweredButton.setBorder(loweredBorder);
   
   Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
   contentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 2, 5, 5));
   contentPane.add(raisedButton);
   contentPane.add(loweredButton);
   frame.setSize(300, 100);
   frame.setVisible(true);
 }
