printSizes

public static void printSizes(java.awt.Component c)
A debugging utility that prints to stdout the component's minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes.


makeGrid

public static void makeGrid(java.awt.Container parent,
                            int rows,
                            int cols,
                            int initialX,
                            int initialY,
                            int xPad,
                            int yPad)
Aligns the first rows * cols components of parent in a grid. Each component is as big as the maximum preferred width and height of the components. The parent is made just big enough to fit them all.

Parameters:
rows - number of rows
cols - 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

makeCompactGrid

public static void makeCompactGrid(java.awt.Container parent,
                                   int rows,
                                   int cols,
                                   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:
rows - number of rows
cols - 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
