The grid layout manager places components in a grid of cells. Each component takes all the available space within its cell, and each cell is exactly the same size.
This layout manager is used rarely.
GridLayout is part of the standard Java distribution.
A container with this layout manager has following layout manager properties:
Property Name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
columns | The number of columns. Zero means any number of columns. | |
rows | The number of rows. Zero means any number of
rows. Note: If the number of rows is non-zero, the number of columns specified is ignored. Instead, the number of columns is determined from the specified number or rows and the total number of components in the layout. |
|
horizontal gap | The horizontal gap between components. | 0 |
vertical gap | The vertical gap between components. | 0 |
