GridLayout alignment problem

[q8inq8]

hello everyone,

i`m new in java and it is the first homework,

everything was done, unless the position of the graph.

i use GridLayout N*N and as i said it work fine but there no space between the edges and first column, so how to add this space..?

and how to make the last column have the same size between edges and and first column..?

i hope somebody have solution of my above problem, because i was search in google for built in function that add space before first column and i fail.

GridLayout allows you to specify horizontal and/or vertical gaps in the grid. Check out the GridLayout section of the API and it will show you how to do this using GridLayout's constructor.

how to add border in main panel..?

can you give an example, plz..

--------------

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;


public class hw01 extends Applet{

	GridLayout tt = (new GridLayout(3, 3, 100, 0));
	public void init(){
		
		setLayout(tt);
	

		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());

		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());

		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());
		add(new comp());
		
		
	}

}


class comp extends Applet{
	
	public void paint(Graphics g){
		setSize(this.getHeight(), this.getHeight());
		int h = getSize().height-10, w = getSize().width-10,
		x = 0, y = 0;
		
		
		g.drawRect(0, 0, w, h);
		for(int i = 0; i <= 10; i++){
			
			g.drawLine(0, h, w, y);
			g.drawLine(0, h, x, 0);
			g.drawLine(w, 0, 0, y);
			g.drawLine(w, 0, x, h);
			
	
			x += w/10;
			y += h/10;
			
		}
		
	
		
	}

}

this is my program you can run it and see how is first column start fro, edges.. what i need is to add gap between first column and edges.. and add fixed gap between last column and other edges.

Border is a Swing concept, so I guess it won't help.

I have no idea why schools still teach AWT. Everybody programs in Swing these days and that means you need to unlearn AWT concepts once you move on to Swing.

Add Insets to the "outer" cells, or, as a small (unnecessary) trick, add a column and/or row to the sides and/or top/bottom with nothing but a simple label in it consisting of a single space (i.e. one label in the top left and one label in the bottom right).

but what i should do in my homework is to have fixed gap between first column and edge, same thing for last column and other edge.

Put your JPanel with the GridLayout in another JPanel with a BorderLayout (in the center) and put two invisible Boxes (read the API documentation) in the EAST and WEST parts. Note that nesting JPanels in JPanels with different LayoutManagers can do quite a powerful job.

that what i try to do now, but there are no output..!!

what i do is add this code to the above code in my previous code

public class hw01 extends Applet{
	public void init(){                                              
	    setLayout (new BorderLayout());
	    
	    add(new comp2(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
	  }
	
}

is it true or should i do it in another way..?
