Method Detail

printSizes

public static void printSizes(Component c)

A debugging utility that prints to stdout the component's minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes.

Parameters:

c - the component to debug

makeGrid

public static void makeGrid(Container parent,
                            int rows,
                            int cols,
                            int initialX,
                            int initialY,
                            int xPad,
                            int yPad)

Aligns the first rows * cols components of parent in a grid. Each component is as big as the maximum preferred width and height of the components. The parent is made just big enough to fit them all.

Parameters:

parent - parent container

rows - number of rows

cols - number of columns

initialX - x location to start the grid at

initialY - y location to start the grid at

xPad - x padding between cells

yPad - y padding between cells

makeCompactGrid

public static void makeCompactGrid(Container parent,
                                   int rows,
                                   int cols,
                                   int initialX,
                                   int initialY,
                                   int xPad,
                                   int yPad)

Aligns the first rows * cols components of parent in a grid. Each component in a column is as wide as the maximum preferred width of the components in that column; height is similarly determined for each row. The parent is made just big enough to fit them all.

Parameters:

parent - parent container

rows - number of rows

cols - number of columns

initialX - x location to start the grid at

initialY - y location to start the grid at

xPad - x padding between cells

yPad - y padding between cells
