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.
