Java Tips - How to use Grid layout

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. GridLayout has the following constructors:


import java.awt.*;

import java.applet.Applet;



public class Grid extends Applet{ 



    // Adding Labels

    Label one   = new Label("Rohit");

    Label two   = new Label("Mohit");

    Label three = new Label("Ashish");

    Label four  = new Label("Dinesh");

    Label five  = new Label("Kshitij");

    Label six   = new Label("Anand");

    Label seven = new Label("Pradeep");

    Label eight = new Label("Vikas");

    Label nine  = new Label("Sandeep");

    Label ten   = new Label("Pankaj");

    Label eleven= new Label("Narang");

    Label twelve= new Label("Khariwal");



    public void init(){



        setLayout(new GridLayout(4,3));

        add(one); one.setBackground(Color.red);

        add(two); two.setBackground(Color.orange);

        add(three); three.setBackground(Color.red);
