Graphical User Interfaces GUIs 1
The Plan • • • Components Flat Layouts Hierarchical Layouts Designing a GUI Coding a GUI 2
Components • JLabel text/image display • JText. Field single line for text input/output • JText. Area multiple lines for text input/output • JButton used for decisions • JFrame a basic window 3

Flat Layouts Grid. Layout Border. Layout NORTH EAST WEST CENTER SOUTH 6
Flat Layouts Grid. Layout • Added left to right, top to bottom • Expands to fill horizontally and vertically • Each space equal width and height Border. Layout • Not all positions must be filled • CENTER expands horizontally and vertically • NORTH and SOUTH expand horizontally • WEST and EAST expand vertically 7

Hierarchical Layouts You can put layouts within layouts: 10
Hierarchical Layouts Identify the Border. Layout and Grid. Layouts in the application on the right. 11

Hierarchical Layouts 17
Hierarchical Layouts • Virtually every layout I make is a hierarchy of Grid. Layout and Border. Layout • Other Layouts include – Box. Layout – Grid. Bag. Layout – Flow. Layout – Card. Layout 18
Designing a GUI • What components are needed? • Which components are of primary importance? Secondary? • How do the components relate to each other? • How big are the components? • How can they be arranged into Border. Layout and Grid. Layout? 19
Coding a GUI 1. Declare the components as instance variables 2. Write a make. Components method to initialize the components 3. Write a layout. Components methods to arrange the components 4. Write a constructor to call the above two methods 5. Write a set. Visible method to set the primary component’s visibility (usually a JFrame). 20
Examples • Border. Example. java (today) • Grid. Example. java (in the code directory) • Combined. Example. java (in code directory) 21
Border. Layout. java import java. awt. *; import java. awt. event. *; import javax. swing. *; public class Border. Example extends JApplet { JFrame frame; JText. Area middle; JText. Field bottom; JButton left, right; JLabel title; 22
Border. Layout. java private void make. Components() { frame=new JFrame("Border. Example"); middle=new JText. Area(10, 40); bottom=new JText. Field(); left=new JButton("left"); right=new JButton("right"); title=new JLabel("Title"); } 23
Border. Layout. java private void make. Layout() { Container container=frame. get. Content. Pane(); container. set. Layout(new Border. Layout()); container. add(new JScroll. Pane(middle), Border. Layout. CENTER); container. add(title, Border. Layout. NORTH); container. add(left, Border. Layout. WEST); container. add(right, Border. Layout. EAST); container. add(bottom, Border. Layout. SOUTH); frame. pack(); } 24
Border. Layout. java public Border. Example() { make. Components(); make. Layout(); } public void set. Visible(boolean vis) { frame. set. Visible(vis); } 25
Border. Layout. java public void init() { main(null); } public static void main(String[] args) { Border. Example example=new Border. Example(); example. set. Visible(true); } 26
