18.28 java.awt.GridBagConstraints (JDK 1.0)

This class encapsulates the instance variables that tell a GridBagLayout how to position a given Component within its Container.

gridx, gridy

These fields specify the grid position of the component. The RELATIVE constant specifies a position to the right or below the previous component.

gridwidth, gridheight

These fields specify the height and width of the component in grid cells. The constant REMAINDER specifies that the component is the last one and should get all remaining cells.

fill

This field specifies which dimensions of a component should grow when the space available for it is larger than its default size. Legal values are the constants NONE, BOTH, HORIZONTAL, and VERTICAL.

ipadx, ipady

These fields specify internal padding to add on each side of the component in each dimension. They increase the size of the component beyond its default minimum size.

insets

This Insets object specifies margins to appear on all sides of the component.

anchor

This field specifies how the component should be displayed within its grid cells when it is smaller than those cells. The CENTER constant and the compass-point constants are legal values.

weightx, weighty

These fields specify how extra space in the container should be distributed among its components in the X and Y dimensions. Larger weights specify that a component should receive a proportionally larger amount of extra space. A zero weight specifies that the component should not receive any extra space. These weights specify the resizing behavior of the component and its container.
