The feasibility study of replacing the FONT AWESOME framework in the Java class library
The use of icons and vector graphics in the Java library is a common needs to increase the aesthetics and interactivity of the user interface.FONT AWESOME is a popular icon library, which provides developers with a large number of scaling vector icons.However, we need to study whether there are other feasible alternative frameworks that can be used for Java class libraries and provide Java code examples.
In this article, we will discuss several choices of replacement of the Font Awesome framework and their feasibility.
1. Material Icons
Material Icons is an icon library of open source code launched by Google.It provides a set of exquisite and easy to recognize icons that can be used for various types of applications.Material icons provides two formats: font file and image file to meet different needs.In the Java program, Material Icons can be implemented by introducing related font files and setting the corresponding text tags by introducing related font files.
Below is a simple example of using Material icons:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class MaterialIconsExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Material Icons Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(400, 300);
// Create a label and set icons
JLabel label = new JLabel("");
Font iconFont = new Font("MaterialIcons", Font.PLAIN, 24);
label.setFont(iconFont);
frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
In the above code, we display an icon by creating an icon code in the Material Icons font by creating a `jlabel` tag and setting its text to display an icon.We use the `FONT` class to load the font file and set it as a tag font, so as to use the Material Icons icon in the Java library.
2. JavaFX Icons
Javafx is a set of graphic interface tools used to build a rich client application on the Java platform.Javafx comes with some built -in icon libraries, which can be used directly in the code.Through the Javafx's `Glyph` class, we can create and render icons very conveniently.
Below is a simple example of using Javafx icons:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class JavaFXIconsExample extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
Text icon = new Text();
icon.setText("\uE000");
Font iconFont = Font.loadFont(getClass().getResourceAsStream("/path/to/icons.ttf"), 24);
icon.setFont(iconFont);
StackPane rootPane = new StackPane(icon);
Scene scene = new Scene(rootPane, 400, 300);
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.setTitle("JavaFX Icons Example");
stage.show();
}
}
In the above code, we display an icon by creating an icon code in the Javafx built -in icon library by creating a `Text` object and setting its text to display an icon.We use the `FONT` class to load the custom font file and set it to the font of the` Text` object, so as to use the Javafx Icons icon in the Java library.
Summarize:
This article studies the feasibility of alternating the FONT AWESOME framework in the Java library, and provides two alternative options: Material icons and Javafx Icons.By introducing the corresponding font files and setting a suitable text tag or icon object, we can implement the icon display function similar to FONT AWESOME in the Java program.I hope this article will help you choose the appropriate icon library in Java development.
