Please! urgent help needed with a grid!!

Posted: Mar 22, 2003 10:11 AM

Hi, I really need someone's help.

I need to create a grid of cells, and have access to each cell on the 'board'. How do I go about creating a grid? I understand 2D arrays may be involved, but I want to be able to see the grid lines of this grid. I do not think a JTable will be suitable, since, ultimately, a simulation will be needed to run on the board.

Thanks for any help at all you can give me.

Cheers

Rich Burgis

I've had good luck with using a plain canvas and drawing the grid then drawing the contents of the cell that I keep in a 2 dimensional array.

I have a drawGrid function that I call from the paint method as

private void drawGrid( Graphics _g )
{
for( int idx = 0; idx < rowCount; idx++ )
_g.drawLine( left, idx * rowHeight, right, idx * rowHeight )

for( int idx = 0; idx < colCount; idx++ )
_g.drawLie( idx * colWidth, top, idx * colWidth, bottom )
}
