GridBagConstraints Constants RELATIVE and REMAINDER

Instead of gridx and gridy, a variation of GridBagLayout uses GridBagConstraints constants RELATIVE and REMAINDER. RELATIVE specifies that the next-to-last component in a particular row should be placed to the right of the previous component in the row. REMAINDER specifies that a component is the last component in a row. Any component that is not the second-to-last or last component on a row must specify values for GridbagConstraints variables gridwidth and gridheight. The application in Figs. 22.23–22.24 arranges components in GridBagLayout, using these constants.
