JScrollPane and JLabel Challenge

[Gregg Bolinger]

Ok people, here is a challenge. my screen resolution is 1024x768. I want to create a JLabel 2000x2000 and be able to scroll around the JLabel. Also, I would like for the view to start out relatively close to the center of the JLabel.
Any suggestions??
Thanks

You will need to use setMinimumSize() setPreferredSize() and put the Dimension you want in it. That will give you a large label. Are you putting it on a JScrollPane?

Ok, so
here is some code snipit

JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setSize(2000, 2000);
JScrollPane labelScroll = new JScrollPane(label);
labelScroll.setPrefferedSize(new Dimension(1000, 700);
labelScroll.setMinimumSize(?????????); //Don't know what to put here
myContentPane.add(labelScroll);

does that look right?

I got the code to work, and I can see the scrollPanes, but you can't scroll through the entire JLabel.
Any ideas?
