    GUI Layout

    I am working on an application in which the GUI layout has to be exactly as specified. Instead of having to guess how many pixels each item on the layout is, or at which pixel location stuff is located, Is there a tool that can assist me? It would be nice to have some sort of graph to place on a printout that I currently have, so that pixel location can easily be figured out.

    Does anyone know about anything like that?

    Any suggestions?

    Re: GUI Layout

    NetBeans has its exact placement layout. You can also give a container no layout at all and set every widget's position directly, but that loses you the immediate graphical feedback.
    But of course, you'd have to specify the Metal L&F, because a native L&F would be different on different platforms, and all your careful calculations would be off.

    Are you sure you can't avoid the pixel-perfect layout? Flexible layouts are usually more ... flexible.
