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);
Each allows you to customize both the etching type and the coloration of the highlighting
and shadowing within the border. If no etching type is specified, the border is lowered. As with
BevelBorder and SoftBevelBorder , you can specify the etching type through one of two constants:
EtchedBorder.RAISED or EtchedBorder.LOWERED . Again, if no colors are specified, they're derived
from the background color of the component passed into paintBorder() . By default, all
EtchedBorder objects are created to be opaque.
MatteBorder Class
MatteBorder is one of the more versatile borders available. It comes in two varieties. The first is
demonstrated in Figure 7-9 and shows a MatteBorder used like a LineBorder to fill the border
with a specific color, but with a different thickness on each side (something a plain LineBorder
cannot handle).
