A {@link javax.swing.JLabel} subclass which supports {@link org.jdesktop.swingx.painter.Painter}s, multi-line text, and text rotation.
Painter support consists of the foregroundPainter and backgroundPainter properties. The backgroundPainter refers to a painter responsible for painting beneath the text and icon. This painter, if set, will paint regardless of the opaque property. If the background painter does not fully paint each pixel, then you should make sure the opaque property is set to false.
The foregroundPainter is responsible for painting the icon and the text label. If no foregroundPainter is specified, then the look and feel will paint the label. Note that if opaque is set to true and the look and feel is rendering the foreground, then the foreground may paint over the background. Most look and feels will paint a background when opaque is true. To avoid this behavior, set opaque to false.
Since JXLabel is not opaque by default (isOpaque() returns false), neither of these problems typically present themselves.
Multi-line text is enabled via the lineWrap property. Simply set it to true. By default, line wrapping occurs on word boundaries.
The text (actually, the entire foreground and background) of the JXLabel may be rotated. Set the rotation property to specify what the rotation should be. Specify rotation angle in radian units.
