GridLayout in Java Example

The GridLayout layout manager divides the container into a rectangular grid so that component can be placed in rows and column. The intersection of each row and column is known as a cell. The components are laid out in cells and each cell has the same size, components are added to a GridLayout starting at the top left cell of the grid and continuing to the right until the row is full. The process continues left to right on the next row of the grid and so on.

The java.awt.GridLayout class contain the following constructors and methods that can use to customize this manager:

import java.awt.*; 
 class GridLayoutExample extends Frame 
 { 
     GridLayoutExample() 
     { 
          Button[] button =new Button[12]; 
          setLayout(new  GridLayout(4,3)); 
          for(int i=0; i<button.length;i++) 
             { 
                button[i]=new Button("Button "+(i+i)); 
                add(button[i]); 
             } 
      } 
 } 
   class GridLayoutJavaExample 
   { 
       public static void main(String args[]) 
       { 
           GridLayoutExample frame = new GridLayoutExample(); 
           frame.setTitle("GridLayout in Java Example"); 
           frame.setSize(400,150); 
           frame.setVisible(true); 
       } 
   }
