Java help, can't seem to vertically center this label...

[Andvari]

I wrote this code and I got this image... but I was supposed to get THIS image instead.

Even when I uncomment out that commented code, it doesn't change the location of the label. Why isn't it centering vertically?

Well I don't know any Swing but I'll take a stab at it... what if you set the label's vertical text position to CENTER instead of TOP?

I'm far from a Java master at this time... where exactly should I be looking on that site?

And Kamper, sadly that doesn't work. That just overlaps the text on the picture.

Try using the BorderLayout manager and putting it in the center region. It's been a year since I did this stuff and my Java book isn't by me so sorry I can't give more info.

^ I'll give that a shot, but this is homework and I don't think we've covered that yet. We're pretty much supposed to lay it out the way I did, so if there isn't a parameter I'm missing using the classes/methods I've used, it might can't be done.

I *think* the lab instructor said if we can't center it vertically, that's fine. But I wanted to anyway, just to be safe. I would have asked her Wednesday, but lab was canceled due to the hurricane.
