Layout Managers
I have read the API and looked at examples but its not answering my question. Which layout would treat a panel as its own entity. Meaning if I made a method that made a matrix of buttons using GridLayout and returned that panel. Then called the method onto a frame and the buttons would not spread out all over the frame. They would simply stop at the dimensions of the panel.
Am I looking for something that is not possible?
Re: Layout Managers
Of course not. A JPanel is always its own entity.Am I looking for something that is not possible?
The JPanel's layout manager will be a GridLayout, the JFrame's layout manager would be fine as the default BorderLayout, depending on what else you're adding to it. Set the preferred size of the JPanel, add it to the JFrame, pack() the JFrame, set the JFrame visible. If this is not working for you, post your code.

Just had a lesson on pack that I won't forget... Thanks again, spent hours on this simple task for it to be answered by a simple four lettered word. Another four letter word comes to mind as I wrote that.
