How to add components with relative X and Y Coordinates in Java?

To add components with relative X and Y coordinates, you need to set both the gridx and gridy components −

GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints(); constraints.gridy = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE; constraints.gridx = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;

The following is an example to add components with relative X and Y Coordinates −

Example

package my; import java.awt.GridBagConstraints; import java.awt.GridBagLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame();       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JPanel panel = new JPanel();       panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());       GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();       constraints.gridx = 1;       constraints.gridy = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;       panel.add(new JButton("1st row 1st column"), constraints);       panel.add(new JButton("2nd row"), constraints);       panel.add(new JButton("3rd row"), constraints);       constraints.gridx = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;       panel.add(new JButton("1st row 2nd column"), constraints);       panel.add(new JButton("1st row 3rd column"), constraints);       frame.add(panel);       frame.setSize(550, 300);       frame.setVisible(true);    } }
