Multiple Canvas' next to each other
I am making an emulator for a seven segment display calculator with up to 10 digits. I have the logic down where I have an array of size 10 of objects. These objects take in a number and "turn on" the segments necessary to display the correct number on the canvas. I am trying to have 10 separate canvas' next to each other and have a draw function that draws the correct number in each digit based on what segments are "turned on". Anyways, I can figure that part out. The part I can't seem to figure out is how to get 10 separate canvas' next to each other on a single JFrame. I have tried using 10 panels, but the formatting is not working and I'm having issues. Any suggestions on how to make this?
Solution
This is a really basic example of 7 segment display set up using nothing more then custom JPanels...
Each element in the display is just a JPanel with some additional "properties", which are then laid out on another JPanel which acts as the primary display. You can effect which segements are turned on and off through the use of a boolean array, where position;
- 0 is the top
- 1 & 2 are the left and right, top half
- 3 is the middle
- 4 * 5 are the left and right, bottom half
- 6 is the bottom

There's probably a really clever way to set up the switch statement, but I can't really be bothered right now...
What I would then do, is add each SegmentDisplay to a JPanel using something like GridBagLayout or FlowLayout...
