I am making a calculator. I used a GridBagLayout
to arrange the buttons, and so far it looks like this:
I am trying to find the exact size of the grid so I can set the size of the JFrame
to match it. In the GridBagLayout
API, I found three methods: maximumLayoutSize
, minimumLayoutSize
, and preferredLayoutSize
. I tried all three and set the JFrame
to each size to see how they worked:
When I looked at the dimensions returned by maximumLayoutSize
, they were huge (millions and billions).
When I used the dimensions returned by minimumLayoutSize
, I got width=151, height=150, which looks like this:
When I used the dimensions returned by preferredLayoutSize
, I got width=220, height=180, which looks like this:
Instead, I want the dimensions of the GridBagLayout when it looks normal like it is in the first picture. How can I get these dimensions?
Call, JFrame#pack
, it will pack the frame based on the needs of the frame decorations and the preferred size of the frames content.
