Want to change a JButton with half red and half blue

Question

I want to set my JButton background color with half red and half blue. Can I do that in java swing without using graphics 2D? Please help me!

Please explain more -- half red text? background-color? something else? What have you researched? What have you tried? Please go through the [ask]. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Oct 10 '19 at 16:39

You can do it by making it gradient.

   buttonGraphics.setPaint(new GradientPaint(
                        new Point(0, 0), 
                        Color.RED, 
                        new Point(0, getWidth()), 
                        Color.BLUE()));
                buttonGraphics.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
                buttonGraphics.dispose()

If you want it vertically gradient, use getHeight() instead of getWidth(). – O. Collins Oct 10 '19 at 17:09
