Method Detail

makeCompactGrid

public static void makeCompactGrid(Container parent,
                                   int rows,
                                   int columns,
                                   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 - The container to layout.

rows - number of rows

columns - 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
