Grid Layout Features:
L make each component in the container a grid-like distribution of m rows x N columns.
The grid has the same width for each column and is equal to the width of the container divided by the number of columns in the grid.
The grid is the same height per row, equal to the height of the container divided by the number of rows in the grid.
L The components are arranged from top to bottom, from left to right.
The order in which the component is placed in the container determines its position in the container.
l container size changes, the relative position of the component is constant and the size changes.
l set the number of rows and columns of the grid layout, the number of rows or columns can have one zero. If rows for 0, cols is 3, the number of columns is fixed to 3, unlimited number of lines, each line can only put 3 controls or containers. If cols for 0, rows is 3, the number of rows is fixed to 3, the number of columns is unlimited, and each row must have controls, if the number of components cannot be divisible by the number of rows, then the number of all the line components except the last line is: Math. number of components /rows)
Math.ceil (Double x): Returns the smallest integer value that is not less than X. For example, if the number of rows is 3and the number of components is 13 , then math. Ceil (13/3) =5, which is the first line, the number of components in the second row is 5 , and the remaining components are placed on the last line.
If the number of components exceeds the number of grid settings, the layout Manager will automatically increase the number of meshes, the principle is to keep the number of rows unchanged.
Construction Method Summary |
GridLayout (): creates a grid layout with default values, that is, each component occupies one row. |
GridLayout (int rows, int cols): Creates a grid layout with the specified number of rows and columns. Rows is the number of lines,cols is the number of columns. |
GridLayout (int rows, int cols, int hgap, int vgap): Creates a grid layout with the specified number of rows, number of columns, and horizontal, vertical spacing of the components. |
Method Summary |
Int |
GetColumns (): Gets the number of columns in this layout. |
Int |
Gethgap (): Gets the horizontal spacing between components. |
Int |
getRows (): Gets the number of rows in this layout. |
Int |
Getvgap (): Gets the vertical spacing between components. |
void |
removelayoutcomponent (Component comp): Removes the specified component from the layout. |
void |
SetColumns (int cols): Sets the number of columns in this layout to the specified value. |
void |
Sethgap (int hgap): Sets the horizontal spacing between components to the specified value. |
void |
setrows (int rows): Sets the number of rows in this layout to the specified value. |
void |
Setvgap (int vgap): Sets the vertical spacing between components to the specified value. |
String |
toString (): Returns a string representation of the value of this grid layout. |
Example one:
Gridlayoutdemo.java
Import javax.swing.*;
Import java.awt.*;
public class Gridlayoutdemo extends JFrame {
Public Gridlayoutdemo () {
SetLayout (New GridLayout (0,2)); Set to Grid layout, no number of rows specified
SetFont (New Font ("Helvetica", Font.plain, 14));
Getcontentpane (). Add (New JButton ("button 1"));
Getcontentpane (). Add (New JButton ("button 2"));
Getcontentpane (). Add (New JButton ("button 3"));
Getcontentpane (). Add (New JButton ("button 4"));
Getcontentpane (). Add (New JButton ("button 5"));
}
public static void Main (String args[]) {
Gridlayoutdemo f = new Gridlayoutdemo ();
F.settitle ("Gridwindow application");
F.pack ();
F.setvisible (TRUE);
F.setdefaultcloseoperation (Jframe.exit_on_close);
F.setlocationrelativeto (NULL); To center the form on the display
}
}
The program results are as follows:
Example two: Layout a simple calculator
Idea: Apply a border layout to a form, place a text box on North, place a panel on the center, and place a corresponding button on the calculator on the panel
Gridframe.java
Import java.awt.*;
Import javax.swing.*;
Class Gridframe extends jframe{
Define panel and set to Grid layout,4 rows 4 columns, component horizontal, vertical spacing is 3
JPanel p=new JPanel (New GridLayout (4,4,3,3));
JTextArea t=new JTextArea (); Define a text box
Defines an array of strings, assigning values to the display text of a button
Note the order of the character elements is consistent with the Loop Add button
String str[]={"7", "8", "9", "/", "4", "5", "6", "*", "1", "2", "3", "-", "0", ".", "=", "+"};
Public Gridframe (String s) {
Super (s); Assigning a value to a form name
SetLayout (New BorderLayout ()); Defining a form layout as a boundary layout
JButton btn[]; Declaring an array of buttons
Btn=new Jbutton[str.length]; Create an array of buttons
Loop define button and add to panel
for (int i=0;i<str.length;i++) {
Btn[i]=new JButton (Str[i]);
P.add (Btn[i]);
}
Place the text box in the North position of the form
Getcontentpane (). Add (T,borderlayout.north);
Place the panel in the form Center location
Getcontentpane (). Add (P,borderlayout.center);
SetVisible (TRUE);
SetSize (250,200);
Setdefaultcloseoperation (Jframe.exit_on_close);
Setlocationrelativeto (NULL); To center the form on the display
}
public static void Main (string[] args) {
Gridframe gl=new gridframe ("Grid layout computer! ");
}
}
Program execution results such as:
Note: It is important to realize that the method of adding a button through a string array and looping is used in the future, and the advantage of this method is that if you need to modify the order of the buttons, you can modify the string directly. Without having to change the code that adds the button.
