different screen resolutions

[steve]

Hi,

what is the best way to handle different screen resolutions for java apps.

I.E
if you have existing code that was written to handle 800*600 , using gridbag
layouts and frames currently set to (767x556)

obviously at 1024*760 -1280x1024 things are going to be a bit spartan.


any ideas?

Up the steep, rocky path of display scaling lies "AffineTransform."
There's really no device-independent scaling in Java, unfortunately.

sorry my fault.
I was talking about components, such as when a jframe is rescaled by a user,
how to make the other items internal to the jframe rescale., fonts to
change (on buttons, in menus)


as for images (as in rescale , i have that down to a fine art)
