#24141 — Best Algorithm for Preferred Size of Dynamically Growing jTable

I once had to build a large jTable and I noticed that after the table
became large things weren't shown in the table.

I forgot how I fixed it.

Question: Is there some preferred way to adjust the size of a
dynamically growing jTable.

I'm using new Courier Font because I want the characters to be the
same width.

Thanks,

     A common practice is to put the JTable in a JScrollPane and
let the user decide how much screen real estate it should have.
In addition, you might try setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(),
although I don't know off-hand whether this does anything for a
JTable that's already displayed (if it doesn't, I imagine a call
to revalidate() might help).

     Although this may affect the actual sizes, I doubt it makes
a difference in how readjustment happens.
