Let's suppose, for example, you want to write an applet that uses a Label whose text is 24 point, SansSerif, bold and blue and whose background color is yellow.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class CubScouts extends Applet {
public void init() {
Label cubScouts = new Label("Cub Scouts!");
cubScouts.setForeground(Color.blue);
cubScouts.setBackground(Color.yellow);
cubScouts.setFont(new Font("Sans", Font.BOLD, 24));
this.add(cubScouts);
}
}
