JTextPane

Introduction📄

A subclass of the JEditorPane class is JTextPane. For stylized documents with embedded components and images, JTextPane is utilized. It is a text component that can be touched up with graphical properties. A DefaultStyledDocument serves as JTextPane's default model.

⭐JTextPane⭐

JTextPane features embedded images and other components and is used to stylize and aesthetically portray documents. It is a subclass of JEditorPane and is the foundation for the Java Swing component Package's stylized text components. Additionally, this can provide unique text formats, and a standard text field is used for plain text. Using a StyledDocument interface as its model, JTextPane uses stylized documents.

The StyledDocument interface is descended from the Document interface as its parent. JTextPane's default model is the document interface.

Class Declaration📄

java.lang.Object
java.awt.Component
java.awt.Container
javax.swing.JComponent
javax.swing.text.JTextComponent
javax.swing.JEditorPane
javax.swing.JTextPane


public class JTextPane
extends JEditorPane

A text component that can be marked up with graphical representations of its characteristics. This component simulates runs of character-level attribute-based sentences. The logical style attached to each paragraph comprises the default attributes that will be used unless they are overridden by attributes defined on the paragraph or character run. The text's flow may contain elements and graphics. 

⭐Constructors

public JTextPane(): This function Object shows a brand-new text area that is empty. The document model is set to null, and a new instance of StyledEditorKit is created. This function Object() has JEditorPane as its ancestor interface.

public JtextPane(StyledDocument doc): The document model indicated by the keyword doc here is used to construct a new JTextPane. The parent interface Document served as this function object's ancestor.

🌐Methods Of JTextPane

In JTextPane, countless fixed methods are implemented. Below is a list of some of the most popular techniques:

Style⭐

The logical style hierarchy can be expanded using this technique. Several of the child approaches derived from Style are listed below:

AttributeSet()⭐⭐

Many different subclasses are utilized to access the character attribute at the current caret position. These are what they are:

StyedDocument()⭐

It is employed to obtain the model connected to the editor.

Syntax: 📄

public StyledDocument getStyledDocument()

setDoccumet()⭐⭐

Used to link the editor to a text file that belongs in the StyledDocument category. The setDocument class from JTextComponent is overridden. As a result, to edit a document, it must be able to be transformed into a StyledDocument; otherwise, an IllegalArgumentException is raised.

Syntax:📄

public void setDocument(Document new)

setEditorKit()⭐

Used to configure the content processing kit that is currently installed. The property that determines the editor's content type is this one. It replaces the setEditorKit function from the JEditorPane class. If the kit is not a member of the StyledEditorKit, this also produces an IllegalArgumentException.

Syntax:📄

public final void setEditorKit (EditorKit edit)

paramString()⭐⭐

This produces a JTextPane string representation. This method's material returned differs between implementations and is primarily useful for debugging. The returned string is neither null nor empty.

Syntax:📄

protected String paramString()

Frequently Asked Questions

What purpose does JTextPane serve in Java?

A subclass of the JEditorPane class is JTextPane. For stylized documents with embedded components and images, JTextPane is utilized. It is a text component that can be touched up with graphical properties.

In JTextPane, how can I add text?

The append(String str) method can add text to the end of a JTextArea document. This method has no effect if the string, document, or both are empty or null.

What is a JEditorPane?

A text area with the ability to display different text formats is a JEditorPane. JEditorPane supports RTF (Rich Text Format) and HTML by default, but we can create our editor kits to handle other text types.

What is a JScrollPane?

A JScrollPane offers a scrollable view of a component. Use a scroll pane to display a huge or dynamically changing component when there isn't enough room on the screen. Split panes and tabbed panes are additional screen space-saving containers.

What distinguishes JTextPane and JTextArea from one another?

Another distinction is that JTextPane supports word/paragraph formatting and enables image embedding within a single document. This feature contrasts with JTextArea's, which does not permit editing images within a single document.
