JTree and indent

[Mika Leino]

Is there any way to modify the indent of a JTree's nodes? The practical width of my JTree is'nt very much, so I would like to display the nodes more tightly.

Normal:
- Node 1
   - Node 2
      + Node 3
What I'd like to have:
- Node 1
 - Node 2
  + Node 3

You could try tree.setRowHeight(int) to set the height of each row.

Hi Mika,
Yes Mika,
You can set the tree indent for the whole application like this:

// retrieve the HashMap of Default properties.
UIDefaults uiDefs = UIManager.getDefaults();
// now replace the one we want to change.
uiDefs.put("Tree.leftChildIndent" , new Integer( x ) );

Hope that helps,

Thank you very much Terry. I got just the result I was looking for using that bit of code.

hello,

My requirement is slightly different. If you notice, JTree indents the leaf nodes more then a normal node. I want to override this action and get all the children aligned, irrespective of node type.

Jenal, use one thread per question. You have your own thread for this question. And as Rob C said there, this post is considered a thread hijack; please don't do that anymore, ok?
