GridBagLayout gridbag = new GridBagLayout();
Based on 305 examples
public class GridBagLayout extends Object implements LayoutManager2, Serializable
The GridBagLayout
class is a flexible layout
manager that aligns components vertically, horizontally or along their
baseline without requiring that the components be of the same size.
Each GridBagLayout
object maintains a dynamic,
rectangular grid of cells, with each component occupying
one or more cells, called its display area.
Each component managed by a GridBagLayout
is associated with
an instance of {@link GridBagConstraints}. The constraints object
specifies where a component's display area should be located on the grid
and how the component should be positioned within its display area. In
addition to its constraints object, the GridBagLayout
also
considers each component's minimum and preferred sizes in order to
determine a component's size.
The overall orientation of the grid depends on the container's {@link ComponentOrientation} property. For horizontal left-to-right orientations, grid coordinate (0,0) is in the upper left corner of the container with x increasing to the right and y increasing downward. For horizontal right-to-left orientations, grid coordinate (0,0) is in the upper right corner of the container with x increasing to the left and y increasing downward.
To use a grid bag layout effectively, you must customize one or more
of the GridBagConstraints
objects that are associated
with its components. You customize a GridBagConstraints
object by setting one or more of its instance variables:
gridx = 0
,
gridy = 0
. For horizontal left-to-right layout,
a component's leading corner is its upper left. For horizontal
right-to-left layout, a component's leading corner is its upper right.
Use GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE
(the default value)
to specify that the component be placed immediately following
(along the x axis for gridx
or the y axis for
gridy
) the component that was added to the container
just before this component was added.
gridwidth
)
or column (for gridheight
)
in the component's display area.
The default value is 1.
Use GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER
to specify
that the component's display area will be from gridx
to the last cell in the row (for gridwidth
)
or from gridy
to the last cell in the column
(for gridheight
).
Use GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE
to specify
that the component's display area will be from gridx
to the next to the last cell in its row (for gridwidth
or from gridy
to the next to the last cell in its
column (for gridheight
).
GridBagConstraints.NONE
(the default),
GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL
(make the component wide enough to fill its display area
horizontally, but don't change its height),
GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL
(make the component tall enough to fill its display area
vertically, but don't change its width), and
GridBagConstraints.BOTH
(make the component fill its display area entirely).
ipadx
pixels. Similarly, the height of
the component will be at least the minimum height plus
ipady
pixels.
ComponentOrientation
property while absolute values
are not. Baseline relative values are calculated relative to the
baseline. Valid values are:
Absolute Values |
Orientation Relative Values |
Baseline Relative Values |
---|---|---|
GridBagConstraints.NORTH GridBagConstraints.SOUTH GridBagConstraints.WEST GridBagConstraints.EAST GridBagConstraints.NORTHWEST GridBagConstraints.NORTHEAST GridBagConstraints.SOUTHWEST GridBagConstraints.SOUTHEAST GridBagConstraints.CENTER (the default) |
GridBagConstraints.PAGE_START GridBagConstraints.PAGE_END GridBagConstraints.LINE_START GridBagConstraints.LINE_END GridBagConstraints.FIRST_LINE_START GridBagConstraints.FIRST_LINE_END GridBagConstraints.LAST_LINE_START GridBagConstraints.LAST_LINE_END |
GridBagConstraints.BASELINE GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_LEADING GridBagConstraints.BASELINE_TRAILING GridBagConstraints.ABOVE_BASELINE GridBagConstraints.ABOVE_BASELINE_LEADING GridBagConstraints.ABOVE_BASELINE_TRAILING GridBagConstraints.BELOW_BASELINE GridBagConstraints.BELOW_BASELINE_LEADING GridBagConstraints.BELOW_BASELINE_TRAILING |
weightx
) and column (weighty
),
all the components clump together in the center of their container.
This is because when the weight is zero (the default),
the GridBagLayout
object puts any extra space
between its grid of cells and the edges of the container.
Each row may have a baseline; the baseline is determined by the components in that row that have a valid baseline and are aligned along the baseline (the component's anchor value is one of {@code BASELINE}, {@code BASELINE_LEADING} or {@code BASELINE_TRAILING}). If none of the components in the row has a valid baseline, the row does not have a baseline.
If a component spans rows it is aligned either to the baseline of the start row (if the baseline-resize behavior is {@code CONSTANT_ASCENT}) or the end row (if the baseline-resize behavior is {@code CONSTANT_DESCENT}). The row that the component is aligned to is called the prevailing row.
The following figure shows a baseline layout and includes a component that spans rows:
CONSTANT_DESCENT
and has
an anchor of BASELINE
. As the baseline-resize behavior
is CONSTANT_DESCENT
the prevailing row for the panel is
row 1.
CENTER_OFFSET
and an anchor of BASELINE
.
Components positioned using one of the baseline-relative values resize
differently than when positioned using an absolute or orientation-relative
value. How components change is dictated by how the baseline of the
prevailing row changes. The baseline is anchored to the
bottom of the display area if any components with the same prevailing row
have a baseline-resize behavior of CONSTANT_DESCENT
,
otherwise the baseline is anchored to the top of the display area.
The following rules dictate the resize behavior:
OTHER
are only resized if
the baseline at the resized size fits within the display area. If
the baseline is such that it does not fit within the display area
the component is not resized.
OTHER
can only grow as tall as {@code display height - baseline + baseline of component}.
The following figures show ten components (all buttons) managed by a grid bag layout. Figure 2 shows the layout for a horizontal, left-to-right container and Figure 3 shows the layout for a horizontal, right-to-left container.
Figure 2: Horizontal, Left-to-Right | Figure 3: Horizontal, Right-to-Left |
Each of the ten components has the fill
field
of its associated GridBagConstraints
object
set to GridBagConstraints.BOTH
.
In addition, the components have the following non-default constraints:
weightx = 1.0
weightx = 1.0
,
gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER
gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER
gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE
gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER
gridheight = 2
,
weighty = 1.0
gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER
Here is the code that implements the example shown above:
