Very helpful video. make it in 1.5x though
Melhor vdeo com este conteudo que ja vi…..
Muito obrigado
Cool bro! Thank you so much! I finally understand the things of gridWidth and gridHeight, insets and fill. God Bless you so much! You are just amazing at explaining things in a very simple and efficient way!

does it work only with buttons.
Asking because cant make it work
thanks for help
public void setPositionAdd(Component c, int gridx, int gridy) {
gbc.gridx = gridx;
gbc.gridy = gridy;
mainPanel.add(c,gbc);
}
this tutorial may be 8 years old but ty for saving me
thank you so much it helped me alot
Thanks! The grid bag layout is peculiar, especially in regards to setting the width/height on components. I appreciate the straightforward tutorial to clear things up.
I wish you would have talked about the FIRST_LINE_END, LINE_END,…. and such. Those don't seem to work the way they are described. I have a JFrame using BorderLayout and add JPanel classes that use GridBagLayouts. I can't get the rows and columns to work right.
Heres the whole code: import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class Tutorial extends JPanel
{
JButton b1, b2, b3, b4, b5;
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
public Tutorial2()
{
setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
gbc.insets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
b1 = new JButton("Button1");
gbc.gridx = 0;
gbc.gridy = 0;
gbc.gridheight = 5;
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL;
add(b1, gbc);
b2 = new JButton("Button2");
gbc.gridx = 1;
gbc.gridy = 1;
gbc.gridheight = 1;
add(b2, gbc);
b3 = new JButton("Button3");
gbc.gridx = 2;
gbc.gridy = 2;
gbc.gridheight = 1;
add(b3, gbc);
b4 = new JButton("Button4");
gbc.gridx = 3;
gbc.gridy = 3;
gbc.gridheight = 1;
add(b4, gbc);
b5 = new JButton("Button5");
gbc.gridx = 1;
gbc.gridy = 4;
gbc.gridheight = 1;
gbc.gridwidth = 3;
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
add(b5, gbc);
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Tutorial t = new Tutorial();
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.setTitle("Tutorial");
jf.setSize(500, 500);
jf.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.add(t);
}
}
Great tutorial. 11:00 gbc.gridheight = 5 means that the height of button 1 should be 5 cells [0, 0 to 0, 4] but it is only showing up in 4 cells [0, 1 to 0, 4]. Why isn't button 1 showing up in cell 0,0?
Why is everything at the center of the Panel … How to do you compress the layout so that it is not centered??
GREAT video. I think gridbaglayout is the best option for buttons but it is a little complex. This video was of the perfect complexity and length
Very good Tutorial! Thank you very much.
Thanks so much. Regards from Zapopan, México. :')
At double speed, this was quite watchable. Thank you for this tutorial on the absolute basics of GridBagLayout. I'll need more to be able to properly use it, but it's a good start.
I've seen several tutorials about GribBagLayouts but this is the very first one which explains weigh and fill credentials in proper way. Thanks a lot.
Good tutorial. In speed 1.5
