How to use JSlider to adjust Text in a JPanel

Hello Louie, and welcome to JavaRanch!

You just need to tie the JSlider value to a font size, and reset the font on your component when it changes. For instance, this ChangeEvent on a JSlider gets its value, and uses it to set the Font size:

Just set the min and max values of the slider to your min and max font sizes.

Hope that helps!

Hi again,

Even JPanels have a default Font associated, you just need to set the Font when you first create the TextSpace(). Example:


Good luck!

Hi Darrin,

Thank you so much! That's just what I need...
