I need your help for a project that I need to finish tomorrow. I'm trying to implement a tab which will put some value from database. But I'm facing with an issue that I can't resolve. I want to add several layout one by one. Each layout is splitted into 3 columns but these layout (and columns) doesn't take all available space as you can see on this screen:

Here's my code:

package pizzeria;

import java.sql.SQLException;

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class CarteDesPizzas extends JPanel{

    static GridLayout grid1 = new GridLayout(1,1);

    static GridLayout grid2 = new GridLayout(1,3);

    static GridLayout grid3 = new GridLayout(1,1);

    public static JPanel affichageCarte() throws SQLException ,Exception {
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Carte des pizzas", JLabel.CENTER);
        label.setForeground(new Color(120, 90, 40));

        JPanel selection = new JPanel();
        GridBagLayout grid = new GridBagLayout();
        selection.setLayout(grid);
         
        JPanel header;
        JPanel content;
         
        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
        c.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
        c.weightx = 1; 
        c.weighty = 0.1;
        c.gridy = 0;
         
        header = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        header.add(label);
        selection.add(header,c);
         
        content = new JPanel();
        c.weightx = 1; 
        c.weighty = 0.9;
        c.gridy = 1;



        JPanel selection2 = new JPanel(grid2);

        JPanel pinkSelection = new JPanel();
        pinkSelection.setBackground(Color.PINK);

        JPanel redSelection = new JPanel();
        redSelection.setBackground(Color.RED);

        JPanel greenSelection = new JPanel();
        greenSelection.setBackground(Color.GREEN);

        selection2.add(pinkSelection);
        selection2.add(redSelection);
        selection2.add(greenSelection);

        content.add(selection2);

        selection.add(content,c);
        
        return selection;
    }
}

Thank you for your help

A JPanel is a container. It's purpose is to contain other Components.

You are not using GridLayout although you declared such three variables. You are using GridBagLayout with some specific values that lead to what you get.
