I'm trying to develop an application layout like that:
* +------------------+--------+
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* | 70% | 30% |
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* | | |
* +------------------+--------+
To do this, I'm using MigLayout. According to this cheat sheet, to set the column weight we shold use [weight]
. However, it isn't working somehow. Take a look at my code:
package com.test;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.border.TitledBorder;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;
public class MainWindow {
private JFrame frame;
private JTextField iterationsTextField;
private JTextField populationSizeTextField;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public MainWindow() {
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize() {
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[grow 70][grow 30]", "[grow]"));
JPanel canvasPanel = new JPanel();
frame.getContentPane().add(canvasPanel, "cell 0 0,grow");
canvasPanel.setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[]", "[]"));
JPanel settingsPanel = new JPanel();
settingsPanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(null, "Settings", TitledBorder.LEADING, TitledBorder.TOP, null, null));
frame.getContentPane().add(settingsPanel, "cell 1 0,grow");
settingsPanel.setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[][grow]", "[][]"));
JLabel iterationsLabel = new JLabel("Iterations");
settingsPanel.add(iterationsLabel, "cell 0 0,alignx trailing");
iterationsTextField = new JTextField();
iterationsTextField.setText("1000");
settingsPanel.add(iterationsTextField, "cell 1 0,growx");
iterationsTextField.setColumns(10);
JLabel populationSizeLabel = new JLabel("Population");
settingsPanel.add(populationSizeLabel, "cell 0 1,alignx trailing");
populationSizeTextField = new JTextField();
settingsPanel.add(populationSizeTextField, "cell 1 1,growx");
populationSizeTextField.setColumns(10);
}
}
I think that setting the frame using this configuration "[grow 70][grow 30]"
the Panel canvasPanel
should be 70% of the screen width, while settingsPanel
should be 30%. Take a look at the final result:
As you can see, the settingsPanel
is WAY longer than the canvasPanel
. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
