Starting GridBagLayout from top left corner in Java Swing

Question

I\'m new to Java Swing and I have been struggling to start the GridBagLayout from top left corner so that c.gridx=0 c.gridy=0 will put my object on the top left corner.

Answer 1

Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use GridBagLayout. The secton on "weightx,weighty" states:

Unless you specify at least one non-zero value for weightx or weighty, all the components clump together in the center of their container.
