Gridbay Constraints

[Venkat01]

In GridBagConstraints, if fill=fill.BOTH is selected, which variables listed below are irrelevant?
a.anchor
b.ipadx
c.insets
d.weightx
I feel that it should be anchor, since fill and anchor do not
go together. Am i right?

I'm going to have to agree with your answer of Anchor because if fill is set to BOTH, then the component will strech to fill the entire area and anchoring will have no effect regards of its value.

I'd like to suggest that both Anchor and ipadx are valid answers. The effect of setting GridBagConstraints'fill equal to fill.BOTH makes the component fill its display area entirely.
Since the anchor field is used when the component is smaller than its display area (not the case when fill=fill.BOTH), this answer sounds reasonable to me.
The field ipadx (and ipady) are used to specify the number of pixels to be added to the component's minimum size. With the fill field set to fill.BOTH, aren't we assured that the component's minimum size is irrelevent?
