java - Controling alignment in JPanel

Question

I have a JList with Strings that when put in panel with the default format, as expected, is aligned in the center of the panel. Is there a way to control this alignment with any of the other formats, or something like that?

Answer 1

Is there a way to control this alignment

Yes, but you haven't given a specific requirement so we can't give a specific answer.

The default layout for a JPanel is the FlowLayout with center alignment.

If you want a different layout then you can:

1. change the FlowLayout to be either right or left aligned. Read the FlowLayout API for the proper parameters
2. change the panel to use a different layout manager. Read the Swing tutorial on Layout Managers for working examples of the other layout managers.
