12.3. The GridLayout Manager
The GridLayout manager divides the window into equal-sized rectangles based upon the number of rows and columns specified. Items are placed into the cells left to right, top to bottom, based upon the order in which they are added. Each component is resized to fit into its grid cell without regard to its current or preferred size. A constructor option lets you specify the gaps between the rows and columns.
Listing 12.3 presents an applet divided into two rows and three columns, with a button placed into each cell. Figure 12-3 shows the result.
