<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I basically have an application in which I want to use Jlabels in as tiles. &nbsp;I want to create a 4x4 grid of JLabels that contain one letter each.<br />
<br />
ahdf<br />
idus<br />
ywnf<br />
oapd<br />
<br />
Something like that. &nbsp;I have my labels rendering onto my window except I can't seem to change the size of the labels. &nbsp;The Labels seem to stay the size of the letter no matter what size i specify with setSize. &nbsp;I was wondering how I would go about making all of the labels squares. &nbsp;Each square would have a letter in the middle and the blank space would be filled with a background color.<br />
<br />
If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
