draw text like a curve in java

Code:: import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.font.*; import java.awt.geom.*; public class ShowTextCreateCurve extends JPanel { public void paint(Graphics g) { Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g; Font font = new Font("Arial Narrow", Font.ITALIC, 20); FontRenderContext fontRenderContext = g2d.getFontRenderContext(); g2d.translate(30, 60); GlyphVector glyphVector = font.createGlyphVector(fontRenderContext, "Java is a platform independent language."); int len = glyphVector.getNumGlyphs(); for (int p = 0; p < len; p++) { Point2D point = glyphVector.getGlyphPosition(p); double angle = (double) p / (double) (len - 1) * Math.PI / 2.5; AffineTransform affineTransform = AffineTransform.getTranslateInstance( point.getX(),point.getY()); affineTransform.rotate(angle); Shape shape1 = glyphVector.getGlyphOutline(p); Shape shape2 = affineTransform.createTransformedShape(shape1); g2d.setPaint(Color.red); g2d.fill(shape2); } } public static void main(String[] args) { JFrame frame = new JFrame("Show Rolling Text"); frame.getContentPane().add(new ShowTextCreateCurve()); frame.setSize(550, 380); frame.show(); } }
