New to Java

Hey everyone,

I've searched through the forums for a way to change the margin or padding of a JLabel and haven't found any results.

I have a JFrame that includes form elements, as well as images. I would like several of the images to touch eachother.

With the default layout manager it gives about 10 pixels between each element.

Is there a setMargin() method or something similar for a JLabel?

or maybe an alternative question: Is there a better way to place images in a Panel than using JLabels?

I found several who suggested using a null layout, and position manually, but it seems there should be an easier way to align images.

Thanks much!

Daniel
