Set Different Height for Multiple Rows in JTable

To set different height for multiple rows, use the setRowHeight() method for separate rows for which you want to increase the row height. Let us first see an example to create a table with same height for all the rows −

Example

package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
      DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
      JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
      tableModel.addColumn("Language/ Technology");
      tableModel.addColumn("Text Tutorial");
      tableModel.addColumn("Video Tutorial");
      tableModel.addColumn("Interview QA");
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Blockchain", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "C#", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Java", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "NodeJS", "No", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "MVC", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "ASP.NET", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "F#", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "SharePoint", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "AWS", "No", "No", "Yes"});
      table.setBackground(Color.orange);
      table.setForeground(Color.black);
      Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.CENTER_BASELINE, 12);
      table.setFont(font);
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setSize(600, 400);
      frame.add(new JScrollPane(table));
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}

The output is as follows displaying same height for all the rows. This is the default for all the rows −

Now, let us see an example to set different heights for multiple rows. Here, we are using the setRowHeight() method multiple times to give different height to rows −

Example

package my;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Font;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class SwingDemo {
   public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
      DefaultTableModel tableModel = new DefaultTableModel();
      JTable table = new JTable(tableModel);
      tableModel.addColumn("Language/ Technology");
      tableModel.addColumn("Text Tutorial");
      tableModel.addColumn("Video Tutorial");
      tableModel.addColumn("Interview QA");
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Blockchain", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "C#", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "Java", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "NodeJS", "No", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "MVC", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "ASP.NET", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "F#", "Yes", "No", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "SharePoint", "Yes", "Yes", "Yes"});
      tableModel.addRow(new Object[] { "AWS", "No", "No", "Yes"});
      // set different height for different rows
      table.setRowHeight(2, 50);
      table.setRowHeight(4, 35);
      table.setRowHeight(6, 20);
      table.setRowHeight(8, 45);
      table.setBackground(Color.orange);
      table.setForeground(Color.black);
      Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.CENTER_BASELINE, 12);
      table.setFont(font);
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setSize(600, 400);
      frame.add(new JScrollPane(table));
      frame.setVisible(true);
   }
}

The output is as follows displaying rows with different heights −
