New line in Strings

[Josep_16]

Hi there. I was trying to add line separators to a String in my JApplet, but it seems to not work.

Just after defining the class, I define the "newline" variable:

static final String newline = System.getProperty("line.separator");

The code of the String is the next one:

String strNegativeRectangle = (
                                            "Fr = "
                                            +strFr
                                            +newline
                                            +"Em = "
                                            +strEm);

g2.drawString(strNegativeRectangle,10,10);

So, it should look like:

Fr = strFr
Em = strEm


But it looks like:

Fr = strFrEm = strEm



Well, where's the error ? :S
Thanks and regards.

use the "\\n" for line separator in string

use the "\\n" for line separator in string

Have you tested that suggestion? It won't work, the drawString( ... ) method can't draw newline characters.

kind regards,

You need to change the y value and call drawString again for each new position you want to draw a String on.
