Variables

anchor

public int anchor

Specifies the alignment of the component in the event that it is smaller than the space allotted for it by the layout manager; e.g., CENTER centers the object within the region.

fill

public int fill

The component's resize policy if additional space available.

gridheight

public int gridheight

Number of columns a component occupies.

gridwidth

public int gridwidth

Number of rows a component occupies.

gridx

public int gridx

Horizontal grid position at which to add component.

gridy

public int gridy

Vertical grid position at which to add component.

insets

public Insets insets

Specifies the outer padding around the component.

ipadx

public int ipadx

Serves as the internal padding within the component in both the right and left directions.

ipady

public int ipady

Serves as the internal padding within the component in both the top and bottom directions.

weightx

public double weightx

Represents the percentage of extra horizontal space that will be given to this component if there is additional space available within the container.

weighty

public double weighty

Represents the percentage of extra vertical space that will be given to this component if there is additional space available within the container.
