Drawing text with a drop shadow

[beezdul 56]

This is a little snippet that lets you draw text with a drop-shadow (it makes it stand out and look 2x better)

​
Here's the method

private void drawShadowString(Graphics2D g, String s, int x, int y, Color face, Color shadow)
{
    g.setColor(shadow);
    g.drawString(s, x+1,y+1);
    g.setColor(face);
    g.drawString(s,x,y);
}

​

​And here's how to use it (called from onPaint())

drawShadowString(g, "This is some test text", 100, 200, Color.WHITE, Color.BLACK);
