gridy=RELATIVE|integer

gridwidth=REMAINDER|RELATIVE|integer

gridheight=REMAINDER|RELATIVE|integer

weightx=double

weighty=double

anchor=CENTER|NORTH|NORTHEAST|EAST|SOUTHEAST|SOUTH|SOUTHWEST|WEST|NORTHWEST|integer

fill=NONE|HORIZONTAL|VERTICAL|BOTH|integer

insets.bottom=integer

insets.left=integer

insets.right=integer

insets.top=integer

ipadx=integer

ipady=integer

Parameters:

code - a textual representation of the attributes to be set

createDefaultConstraints

public static GridBagConstraints createDefaultConstraints()

Creates a GridBagConstraints instance with the following attributes:

anchor=WEST

insets.top=0

insets.left=3

insets.bottom=0

insets.right=3

addToPanel

public static void addToPanel(JPanel panel,
                              Component comp,
                              GridBagConstraints gbc)

Adds a component to a panel with a grid bag layout.

Parameters:

panel - the panel to which to add the component

comp - the component to be added

gbc - the grid bag constraints to be used, can be null if code is not null

addToPanel

public static void addToPanel(JPanel panel,
                              Component comp,
                              GridBagConstraints gbc,
                              String code)
