Java Layouts

[Bootlegger]

We just got into the graphical part of Java in our CS class. For our assignment, we need to make the "microwave" attached below.

So, how exactly do you go about doing that?


I thought about starting the container out as a grid, but I don't know if there is a way to put a panel in a grid. So, I tried a border layout, but that gives me uneven divisions of the container.

Anyone have some advice for me? Thanks!

i'm pretty sure that gridbaglayout (or something to that effect) can solve all of your problems... you need to divide it into 2 portions first... then insert panels, then divide the 2nd one into 12 equal things...

now i've probably forgotten a few steps and used the wrong words for the other parts, but it's not tough... look through the java API and you'll figure it out

I figured it out, acutally. I just used a GridLayout(0,2) and BorderLayouts inside of those, and just added them into the grid sequentially. Why I didn't think of that right off the bad, I have no clue. lol


Thanks for the reply, though!
