I'm supposed to build this for class, where the options in the middle are radio buttons and check boxes, and I have all the components in my panels in my frame. All I have left to do is actionListener and make it look like this. We are learning Layout Managers, and have been given five (FlowLayout, BorderLayout, GridLayout, BoxLayout, CardLayout, and GridBagLayout).
I can't seem to make any of them look like this, though. They either all end up in a line or in some crazy staggered representation, or crowded in from border to border. Any suggestions? In case my setup is getting in the way, I have joe's pizza in a label, pizza type in a pane, toppings in a pane, the textArea on the right, and finally a button. I'm not looking for an answer or the code to make it happen, just want to know what tools I should be using. If I can't figure out the tools, I'll ask another question or ask in the comments. Thanks for any suggestions.
