# Java Examples - create a frame

## Problem Description:

How to display a message in a new frame?

## Solution:

Following example demonstrates how to display message in a new frame by creating a frame using JFrame() & using JFrames getContentPanel(), setSize() & setVisible() methods to display this frame.

    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.font.FontRenderContext;
    import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;

    public class Main extends JPanel {
       public void paint(Graphics g) {
          Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
          g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,
          RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
          g2.setFont(new Font("Serif", Font.PLAIN, 48));
          paintHorizontallyCenteredText(g2, "Java Source", 200, 75);
          paintHorizontallyCenteredText(g2, "and", 200, 125);
          paintHorizontallyCenteredText(g2, "Support", 200, 175);
       }
       protected void paintHorizontallyCenteredText(Graphics2D g2,
       String s, float centerX, float baselineY) {
          FontRenderContext frc = g2.getFontRenderContext();
          Rectangle2D bounds = g2.getFont().getStringBounds(s, frc);
          float width = (float) bounds.getWidth();
          g2.drawString(s, centerX - width / 2, baselineY);
       }
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame();
          f.getContentPane().add(new Main());
          f.setSize(450, 350);
          f.setVisible(true);
       }
    }

## Result:

The above code sample will produce the following result.

    JAVA and J2EE displayed in a new Frame.
