Question

I am using migLayout and set it on flowY.
My object then added with a lot of gaps.
Regularly, on swing editor I add vertical or horizontal spacer.
what is the best practice to add it using miglayout ?

Plus – sometimes I put the spacer between components and by that the two components keep the biggest gap they can on the panel. How do I imitate that behaviour?

Answer 1

First, I’d suggest reading the getting started document on the migLayout website (Getting Started PDF).

To give your custom spacing, I’d suggest using:

MigLayout l = new MigMayout (
  "",
  "[][]20[]",
  "[]20[]"
);

which is on page 3 of the PDF.
