displaying multiple grids in a window

Hi all,
I have accepted certain integer values into a 3-D array. Each 2-D array is basically a grid of cells, and there are say 'n' 2-D arrays in my 3-D array. After accepting data from the user, and storing it in the 2-D array, I now need to display the 3-D array in a window.

To make it clearer, I need to display all 'n' 2-D arrays in a window while the program is running simultaneously so the user can view his input.

It may be like multiple images on a JScrollPane, I'm just guessing, I don't know, I'm new to Java, and haven't really tried everything. The grids are not images, I have displayed them using paintComponent and fillRect.
Some help will be appreciated!

C'mon, help a brother out!!

I'm not clear on exactly what you're looking for. Perhaps you want to display a couple of JTables each held in a tab of a JTabbedPane, or perhaps not. You may want to give us more information on what you're trying to achieve, what this GUi should look like, more about the information it holds and what the user will do with this information.

Also, this forum is staffed by volunteers, so please don't bump your thread sooner than 12-24 hours after posting if you don't want to appear impatient. Otherwise if you're in a super big hurry, consider checking out a pay-for-help site.

Luck.

Is there some way i can convert a collection/grid of squares on a JPanel into an image? And then display many such images in one JPanel? There will be no further input from the user, its simply to be able to see the existing data at all times.

I don't see the point of creating images. Just display each "plane" in a table and make it read only. Then apply a box layout to a panel and add the tables to it as the user finishes entering the data for each. (You could use a single table and just append rows to it - this would be a simple way of ensureing that the columns lined up)

Since there is only a certain amount of screen realestate, unless your 2d arrays are really small you may want to supply the user with a control (combobox, slider etc) so they can move from plane to plane.
