JPanel Drop Shadow

Tags:

I have a JPanel element and I would like added a drop shadow to it, how can I add a nice faded drop shadow to the element? Do I need to use external libraries or is there something that is built in that I can use?

Example:

So I looked into swingx which extends JPanel and was able to achieve the results I was looking for with the following code:

public class Canvas extends JXPanel{

    public Canvas(){
        DropShadowBorder shadow = new DropShadowBorder();
        shadow.setShadowColor(Color.BLACK);
        shadow.setShowLeftShadow(true);
        shadow.setShowRightShadow(true);
        shadow.setShowBottomShadow(true);
        shadow.setShowTopShadow(true);
        this.setBorder(shadow);
    }
}

And the result:

Dropshadow

This is a complete HACK

This will require you to have a copy of JH-Labs Filters for the blur implementation

This is an expensive operation as it uses a blur operation, the reason I use it is that will take into account the the shape of the component it is shadowing.

enter image description here

The main problem you have is that borders aren't them selves, transparent, there's no way to really have an opaque component and a transparent border. Hench the hack

public class TestDropShadowBorder {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TestDropShadowBorder();
    }

    public TestDropShadowBorder() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
                } catch (InstantiationException ex) {
                } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) {
                } catch (UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                frame.add(new TestPane());
                frame.pack();
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }
        });
    }

            setBackground(Color.RED);

            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            JPanel drop = new JPanel();

UPDATED with additional Example

The drop shadow border has limitations, it can't take into consideration the shape of the component, as the time the border is painted, the component hasn't begin, so we have no reference point.

enter image description hereenter image description here

In order to be able to generate a drop shadow which takes into consideration the shape of the component, we need to create a custom component and inject our border directly into the paint process.

Simple drop shadow you can work off. You can see implemented on these JPanels.

public class DropShadowPanel extends JPanel {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public int pixels;

    public DropShadowPanel(int pix) {
        this.pixels = pix;
        Border border = BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(pixels, pixels, pixels, pixels);
        this.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(this.getBorder(), border));
        this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    }

    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        int shade = 0;
        int topOpacity = 80;
        for (int i = 0; i < pixels; i++) {
            g.setColor(new Color(shade, shade, shade, ((topOpacity / pixels) * i)));
            g.drawRect(i, i, this.getWidth() - ((i * 2) + 1), this.getHeight() - ((i * 2) + 1));
        }
    }
}
