In Swing, what's the best way to make the JSplitPane to split two jpanels with 50% size each. It looks like if I don't set preferred sizes on the panels it always makes the first panel almost invisible (2%) and the second one (98%) Thanks in advance ...
A lot of web sites these days have an option to let the user increase or decrease the size of the font that appears on the site.

So I'm using (300, 300) but it seems a little big. How do I set the size in inches? Cool this is how I solved it in case someone wants to know: // Get a Toolkit instance. Toolki...
Hi, I need to dynamically draw (star) topologies in a Java GUI application. By star topology, I mean something like this: It doesn't need to be over-fancy, but I don't want to do it too ugly and crude. By dynamically I mean that the topology changes infrequently over time, but as the number of nodes is very small, a complete repaint ...

Additionally, it'd be nice if it had standard console features such...

Consequently I cannot use a simple screen capture method as it causes my image resolution to be dependent on the resolution of the screen, which the user sets. Is there a way around this? A...
