Users of my software need to be able to click on different tabs to see different types of data representations. However, the code I am including below does not show the requested data panel when the user clicks on a tab.
You can re-create the problem easily by running the code below, and then following these steps in the GUI which the code will produce:
1.) Select "New" from the file menu
2.) Click on "AnotherTab" in the internal frame which will appear
Depending on which line of code you comment out below, the tab will either just show a blank panel or will show a tiny red square in the middle of the top of the panel.
The lines of code that you can toggle/comment-out to recreate this problem are:
GraphPanel myGP = new GraphPanel();
//GraphPanel myGP = new GraphPanel(width,height);
These lines of code are in GraphGUI.java below.
Can anyone show me how to fix the code below so that myGP gets displayed at the full size of the panel containing it?
Here are the three java files required to recreate this problem:
