## Field Details

### labelUI

protected static BasicLabelUI labelUI
The default `BasicLabelUI` instance. This field might not be used. To change the default instance use a subclass which overrides the `createUI` method, and place that class name in defaults table under the key "LabelUI".

## Constructor Details

### BasicLabelUI

public BasicLabelUI()
Constructs a `BasicLabelUI`.

## Method Details

### layoutCL

protected String layoutCL(JLabel label, FontMetrics fontMetrics, String text, Icon icon, Rectangle viewR, Rectangle iconR, Rectangle textR)
Forwards the call to SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(). This method is here so that a subclass could do Label specific layout and to shorten the method name a little.

Parameters:
  `label` - an instance of `JLabel`
  `fontMetrics` - a font metrics
  `text` - a text
  `icon` - an icon
  `viewR` - a bounding rectangle to lay out label
  `iconR` - a bounding rectangle to lay out icon
  `textR` - a bounding rectangle to lay out text
Returns:
  a possibly clipped version of the compound labels string
See Also:
  - `SwingUtilities.layoutCompoundLabel(JComponent, FontMetrics, String, Icon, int, int, int, int, Rectangle, Rectangle, Rectangle, int)`

### paintEnabledText

protected void paintEnabledText(JLabel l, Graphics g, String s, int textX, int textY)
Paint clippedText at textX, textY with the labels foreground color.

Parameters:
  `l` - an instance of `JLabel`
  `g` - an instance of `Graphics`
  `s` - a text
  `textX` - an X coordinate
  `textY` - an Y coordinate
See Also:
  - `paint(Graphics, JComponent)`
  - `paintDisabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)`

### paintDisabledText

protected void paintDisabledText(JLabel l, Graphics g, String s, int textX, int textY)
Paint clippedText at textX, textY with background.lighter() and then shifted down and to the right by one pixel with background.darker().

Parameters:
  `l` - an instance of `JLabel`
  `g` - an instance of `Graphics`
  `s` - a text
  `textX` - an X coordinate
  `textY` - an Y coordinate
See Also:
  - `paint(Graphics, JComponent)`
  - `paintEnabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)`

### paint

public void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c)
Paints the label text with the foreground color, if the label is opaque then paints the entire background with the background color. The Label text is drawn by `paintEnabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)` or `paintDisabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)`. The locations of the label parts are computed by `layoutCL(JLabel, FontMetrics, String, Icon, Rectangle, Rectangle, Rectangle)`.

Overrides:
  `paint` in class `ComponentUI`
Parameters:
  `g` - the `Graphics` context in which to paint
  `c` - the component being painted; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
See Also:
  - `paintEnabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)`
  - `paintDisabledText(JLabel, Graphics, String, int, int)`
  - `layoutCL(JLabel, FontMetrics, String, Icon, Rectangle, Rectangle, Rectangle)`

### getMinimumSize

public Dimension getMinimumSize(JComponent c)
Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
Returns the specified component's minimum size appropriate for the look and feel. If `null` is returned, the minimum size will be calculated by the component's layout manager instead (this is the preferred approach for any component with a specific layout manager installed). The default implementation of this method invokes `getPreferredSize` and returns that value.

Overrides:
  `getMinimumSize` in class `ComponentUI`
Parameters:
  `c` - the component whose minimum size is being queried; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
Returns:
  getPreferredSize(c)
See Also:
  - `JComponent.getMinimumSize()`
  - `LayoutManager.minimumLayoutSize(Container)`
  - `ComponentUI.getPreferredSize(JComponent)`

### getMaximumSize

public Dimension getMaximumSize(JComponent c)
Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
Returns the specified component's maximum size appropriate for the look and feel. If `null` is returned, the maximum size will be calculated by the component's layout manager instead (this is the preferred approach for any component with a specific layout manager installed). The default implementation of this method invokes `getPreferredSize` and returns that value.

Overrides:
  `getMaximumSize` in class `ComponentUI`
Parameters:
  `c` - the component whose maximum size is being queried; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
Returns:
  getPreferredSize(c)
See Also:
  - `JComponent.getMaximumSize()`
  - `LayoutManager2.maximumLayoutSize(Container)`

### getBaseline

public int getBaseline(JComponent c, int width, int height)
Returns the baseline.

Overrides:
  `getBaseline` in class `ComponentUI`
Parameters:
  `c` - `JComponent` baseline is being requested for
  `width` - the width to get the baseline for
  `height` - the height to get the baseline for
Returns:
  baseline or a value < 0 indicating there is no reasonable baseline
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `c` is `null`
  `IllegalArgumentException` - if width or height is < 0
Since:
  1.6
See Also:
  - `JComponent.getBaseline(int, int)`

### getBaselineResizeBehavior

public Component.BaselineResizeBehavior getBaselineResizeBehavior(JComponent c)
Returns an enum indicating how the baseline of the component changes as the size changes.

Overrides:
  `getBaselineResizeBehavior` in class `ComponentUI`
Parameters:
  `c` - `JComponent` to return baseline resize behavior for
Returns:
  an enum indicating how the baseline changes as the component size changes
Throws:
  `NullPointerException` - if `c` is `null`
Since:
  1.6
See Also:
  - `JComponent.getBaseline(int, int)`
