Re: Best Layout?

Hi everyone. I am kind of new to Java in general, much less Swing, but
I am working on a project where I want to create somewhat of a flow
chart with draggable boxes and lines connecting them. I plan on
representing each box in the "flow chart" with a JPanel. Keeping in
mind that I will need to draw lines between panels, what would be the
best layout to use? What I am looking for is a layout where I can say
"put panel A at location (X,Y)" but Sun's explanation of layouts didn't
seem to explain anything like that. If anyone has any input, I would
appreciate it.

You may want to look at these examples in the Sun JDK sample Demo Applets subdirectories. They maybe a little to hard being you are new to java.

...\jdk1.5.0_07\demo\applets\DrawTest (example1)
...\jdk1.5.0_07\demo\applets\GraphLayout (example1 to example4)


Thanks in Advance...
