Illustration of BorderLayout with Embedded GridLayout

Here are several versions of the same applet displayed in different sized areas. Note how we put a Panel with a GridLayout in the center of the BorderLayout.

Here the width is 350 and the height is 180

Here the width is 200 and the height is 250

Here is the code for the applet


import java.awt.*;

public class BorderGrid extends java.applet.Applet
{
    public void init()
    {
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Panel p = new Panel();
        p.add(new Label("This is North"));
        add("North",p);
        p = new Panel();
        p.add(new Label("A Label"));
        p.add(new Button("Two"));
        add("South",p);
        p = new Panel();
        p.add(new Button("Three"));
        add("East",p);
        p = new Panel();
        p.add(new Button("Four"));
        add("West",p);
        p = new Panel();
        p.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1,5,5));
        p.add(new Button("Five"));
        p.add(new TextField());
        p.add(new Button("Six"));
        add("Center", p);
    }
