java GUI to assign array value

There is one Paraview user interface as follow attracted me.
I think this interface can be used to assign value into array. It works like this :
I want to implement this into a Java program but I found no Java API can support my idea. The closest design from me would be adding multiple JSlider like this :
But what if it is a 100 size array, I wouldn't want to add 100 JSliders. Do you have better solution for this ?

Okay, so this is a pretty basic example. It needs a lot more work and optimisation, but should get you moving in the right direction

Before anyone says I didn't put the "fill" in, I deliberately used a Path2D to make it much simpler to achieve ;)

smooth animation in java for fast moving objects

I am creating simple animation of ball moving from one side of the screen to the other with different speed. The problem is that with higher speeds of the ball I can see noticeable flickering of the ball, actually it is hard to explain but something like I could see repaints when part of ball is still in previous step.
I have tried number of things including:
native swing animation using first thread/sleep/repain, then moved to timers
switched to javafx canvas/pane inside swing jframe. Tried both transitions and AnimationTimer
tinkering with CreateBufferStrategy, for 1,2,3 - to be honest haven't seen any difference (maybe I was doing something wrong...)
My question how can I improve smoothness and whether what I want to achieve is possible with native java or maybe it is better to use some external libraries ? and if so could you recommend something ?

It's difficult to know exactly what might be going wrong without a runnable example, but I would, where you can, avoid mixing JavaFX and Swing, as they have different rendering mechanisms.
The following is a VERY simple example, which simply increases the speed of the balls been animated by simply changing the amount by which they are moved on each update...

This example works within the confines of Swing's painting process, if you need more control over the painting process you will need to use a BufferStrategy (to work within Swing)

I think the issue is caused by the rendering of the JFXPanel in AWT: there is some complex stuff happening behind the scenes to synchronize between the two different system threads (the AWT event dispatch thread and the FX Application Thread).
If you can write this as a "pure" JavaFX application (i.e. with no Swing/AWT code), it runs more smoothly:

If you have to have JavaFX embedded in a Swing application, and you're using Java 8 (I tested this on 8u20), then there is a system property that runs both UI toolkits on the same thread. I think this is still currently experimental, so use at your own risk, but try
java -Djavafx.embed.singleThread=true FXTrackerPanel
This improves things a bit, but it's still pretty flickery and not as good as the "pure JavaFX" version.

Java JApplet: Why aren't my components appearing on screen?

So I've got this challenge to make one of those spirograph drawrings in an applet. The problem is, I'm new to Java and have absolutely no idea how to get any components appearing on the screen. I'm hoping someone can just add an extra line of code to fix this, though I'm really grateful for any answers :)

int R = 75;
int r = 10;
int O = 75;
JTextField changeNumOfPoints = new JTextField(15);
public SpaceCadets3_WB() {
}
public void start() {
this.setSize(600, 600);
this.setBackground(new Color(100,100,255));
this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
this.getContentPane().add(changeNumOfPoints);
changeNumOfPoints.setVisible(true);
changeNumOfPoints.setLocation(width - changeNumOfPoints.getSize().width - 25, 25);
}
public void calculatePoints(){
width = SpaceCadets3_WB.this.getWidth();
height = SpaceCadets3_WB.this.getHeight();
for(int t = 0; t<numOfPoints; t++){
x[t] = (int) ((R+r)*Math.cos(t) - (r+O)*Math.cos(((R+r)/r)*t) + width/2);
y[t] = (int) ((R+r)*Math.sin(t) - (r+O)*Math.sin(((R+r)/r)*t) + height/2);
}
}
public void paint(Graphics g){
g.setColor(Color.RED);
calculatePoints();
for(int i = 0; i<numOfPoints;i++){
x1 = x[i];
x2 = x[i+1];
y1 = y[i];
y2 = y[i+1];

}

Your sleeping the paint method, something you should never do. It's bad to call Thread.sleep(...) on the Swing event thread, but it's a sin to do it in any painting method. So now the applet can't draw. Remember that any painting method must do nothing but painting, and must do it blazingly fast. It shouldn't do any program logic, it shouldn't directly do animation, it should just paint. Use a Swing timer as any similar question will show you how to do.
Also, never draw directly in the applet but instead in the paintComponent method of a JPanel that the applet holds.
So create your JPanel, override its paintComponent method, and draw using fields of the class. Then change the state of those fields in your Timer and call repaint() on the JPanel.
Edit
And yes, you should avoid using null layouts as that's preventing you from easily and adequately adding components to your GUI. Instead in this situation, a FlowLayout, the default layout for JPanel, would work great.

Custom button is shrinked when in a BoxLayout

I have a custom button class that I created that extends JButton. When I add this to a JFrame, I get this:
But when I place this custom button into the frame with BoxLayout, the button becomes smaller and is not desirable this way:
Here is my code for the frame:
Test.java

import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
//When you uncomment this, the button is sized really small
//frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new BoxLayout(frame.getContentPane(),BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
frame.add(new CButton("Hello"));
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}

Is there a way I can fix this and make it the full size?

Override the getPreferredSize(). BoxLayout respects preferred sizes. If you don't the preferred size will be determined by the text. It is bigger in the frame because the default BorderLayout of the frame doesn't respect preferred size, and will stretch the button. Another thing you can do instead is set bigger margins and/or bigger font, as that will also increase the preferred size. So you have a few options/things to consider
Have a look here as which layout respect preferred sizes and which ones don't. Another always good resources is Laying out Components Within a Container

Java layouts not updating component size when custom button changes text

I am making a button where when you click on it it changes the text. But when I click on the button and change the text, the button does not change size according to the text. Instead, it gets smaller and attempts to make that "..." thing when it does not have enough room. Here is my code:

You call
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(
nWidth + ((2 * getFont().getSize()) / 5), nHeight
+ ((2 * getFont().getSize()) / 5)));
in the constructor, but never change it. This means that each time the layout manager asks the component what size it would like to be, it always gets the same value.
A preferred solution would be to override getPreferredSize and calculate the size there, if it's not to complicated or time consuming
The next question is why are you going to all this extra effort. Basically, you should simply allow the parent JButton to provide its preferred size and add your requirements around it, or simply use the margins properties or even a Border
You're KeyListener also seems useless as this is the default behaviour of the button anyway and in any case, key bindings would be a preferred solution

My first thought was that it had to do with your humongous CButton implementation. At least, copy/paste of your code created a working application. That's a big plus in my book.
When I simply replaced the strange nWidth calculation in the setText() method with:
int nWidth = 100;
The size was increased after a click and showed an "f", which I assume is what you wanted.
So, I can't really say how to calculate the width, but at least you know where to look and which line to change.
