   <source lang="java">

import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.Container; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.border.MatteBorder; public class ColorMatteBorder {

 public static void main(String args[]) {

   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   Border solidBorder = new MatteBorder(10, 5, 2, 20, Color.RED);
   JButton solidButton = new JButton("10x5x2x20");
   solidButton.setBorder(solidBorder);

14. Creating and Setting a MatteBorder from BorderFactory

   <source lang="java">

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

 public static void main(String[] argv) {
   ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("image.gif");
   MatteBorder matteBorder = (MatteBorder)BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(-1, -1, -1, -1, icon);
   JLabel component = new JLabel("label");
   component.setBorder(matteBorder);
 }

}</source>

14. MatteBorder

1. A matte border displays a matte pattern.
2. The matte pattern is created by using either a solid color or an icon.
3. Solid matte borders are created by using the specified color.
4. Tiled matte borders are created by using an icon that displays a matte picture.

The following constructors create a matte border:

   <source lang="java">

public MatteBorder(int top, int left, int bottom, int right, Color color)

 public MatteBorder(int top, int left, int bottom, int right, Icon tileIcon)   
 public MatteBorder(Icon tileIcon)</source>
   
  
 
  

14. Using Icon to create border: MatteBorder

   <source lang="java">

import javax.swing.Icon; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.border.MatteBorder; public class MatteBorderSample {

 public static void main(String args[]) {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sample Borders");
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   Icon diamondIcon = new ImageIcon("yourImage.gif");
   Border matteBorder = new MatteBorder(5, 10, 5, 10, diamondIcon);
   
   JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Bevel");
   aLabel.setBorder(matteBorder);
   aLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
   frame.add(aLabel);
   frame.setSize(400, 200);
   frame.setVisible(true);
 }
