Each component managed by a GridBagLayout is associated with a GridBagConstraints instance that specifies how the component is laid out within its display area. GridBagConstraintsWe can customize a GridBagConstraints object by setting one or more of its public instance variables. These variables specify the component location, size, growth factor, anchor, inset, filling, and padding.gridx: An int value that specifies the leftmost cell that the ...
