Remove "Padding" from GridLayout/Buttons

java-programmer, Remove "Padding" from GridLayout/Buttons I have a 10x10 grid of buttons created using a GridLayout. Each button has a
30x30 pixel GIF icon on it.

Unfortunately, nomatter what I try, I can't seem to get each icon to sit
side by side (so that there's no gap between them). Currently there's an
approximately 5 pixel gap between each GIF image.

So far I've tried:

grid_button.setSize(new Dimension(30, 30)); // to set each button to 30x30

_board_panel.setSize(new Dimension(30*y_size, 300*x_size)); // sets grid
board to 30 times the number of grids in each dimension

... but neither seems to work.

How do I get it so that there's no gap between each GIF? I need the size of
each square in the grid to be fixed to exactly 30x30, not relative to the
size of it's holding panel.

TIA.

JButton#setMargin(new Insets(0,0,0,0));

Sorry I forgot to say that I've tried that too:

grid_button.setMargin(new Insets(0, 0, 0, 0));

... but that hasn't worked either.

then try GridLayout#setHgap and setVgap

Nope doesn't work either I use:

_board_panel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(_y_size, _x_size, 0, 0));

... where the 3rd and 4th parameters are HGap and VGap...

This is very annoying.

I think it is time to show us appropriate piece of your code.

It's OK I managed to get round it by scrapping using JButtons and using the
ImageViewer class mentioned in my other thread. Thanks anyway.
