In this example you can see how to arrange the swing components using the FlowLayout manager. This manager arrange the component in a directional flow based on the container component orientation such as ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT and ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT.
package org.kodejava.example.swing;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class FlowLayoutExample extends JFrame {
public FlowLayoutExample() {
initialize();
}
private void initialize() {
setSize(250, 150);
setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Create a new FlowLayout manager and set the component arrangement to
// left justified. The other arrangement if FlowLayout.CENTER,
// FlowLayout.RIGHT, FlowLayout.LEADING and FlowLayout.TRAILING.
FlowLayout layoutManager = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT);
// Set the horizontal and vertical gap between component laid in the
// content pane to 10 pixels.
layoutManager.setHgap(10);
layoutManager.setVgap(10);
setLayout(layoutManager);
// Set the container's component orientation from the right to left.
// This make the first component placed on the right top part of the
// container.
getContentPane().setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
// Adds some textfields the the frame panel.
JTextField[][] textFields = new JTextField[3][3];
for (int i = 0; i < textFields.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < textFields[i].length; j++) {
textFields[i][j] = new JTextField(5);
textFields[i][j].setText(String.valueOf(((i + 1) * (j + 1))));
getContentPane().add(textFields[i][j]);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new FlowLayoutExample().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
