public class GridLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager, Serializable

The GridLayout class is a layout manager that lays out a container's components in a rectangular grid.

The container is divided into equal-sized rectangles, and one component is placed in each rectangle.

For example, the following is an applet that lays out six buttons into three rows and two columns:


 import java.awt.*;
 import java.applet.Applet;
 public class ButtonGrid extends Applet {
     public void init() {
         setLayout(new GridLayout(3,2));
         add(new Button("1"));
         add(new Button("2"));
         add(new Button("3"));
         add(new Button("4"));
         add(new Button("5"));
         add(new Button("6"));
     }
 }
 

It produces the following output:
