Setlocation Won't Work

kvarnerexpress
I'm having trouble getting my applet's layout set up properly. I can't get any layout other then GridLayout to work, and GridLayout doesn't look all that great because I would like to make the graph bigger then the buttons, etc.

I've tried using other layout managers, but I couldn't get any of them to work... so then I continued researching, and I found mention of a way to arrange things using setLocation? I tried it... but it just won't work! I use it... and theres no differance in location, although the code doesnt error.

So now I'm stuck. Please, any help would be appreciated... the project is due on Friday, and I've gotten stuck on such a small part... thanks again!

Code we've got so far:

Code:
