Among the many ways that you can condition
the instance of GridBagConstraints, two deserve special mention.
First, you arrange for particular components to expand by setting the
weightx or weighty instance variables, or both, of the
gridbag constraint:
gbc.weightx = 1.0; <-- Spread out horizontally gbc.weighty = 1.0; <-- Spread out vertically
Second, you arrange for the expandable component to fill the available space by
setting the fill instance variable to the value of the
BOTH class variable:
gbc.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH; <-- Fill space
If you want to fill one way, but not the other, you use the
HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL class-variable values, rather
than the BOTH class variable value.
