Does anyone have any ideas or points of reference to go about overiding the
geometry of a JLabel component. So if I have a JLabel that is bevelled and
looks like a square, I want it to look like a hexagon.

Thanks,
Matthew

It sounds like you need to create your own Border class.

Google "non-rectangular jlabel".

See the PDF Chapter 5, among other hits.
