Have put in a lot of hours trying to get this work including a lot of
searching for the solution on the Internet but have been unable to find a
solution.  

I have a Java program that generates graphics on a JPanel.  The graphics
are not fully displayed because they overlay each other with this BoxLayout
that I am using.  The window layout should look like this:

Idea is to put every single graphics on separate panel; panel 2 and 3 must
be always visible when scrolling, so when I scroll to the right only panels
'1' and '3' are moving, and when scrolling down, only the '1' and '2' are
moving.  How can I achieve that?  Which layout?

This is the part of the code (third panel is not yet included) which is not
workig properly: only the 1/5 of the panel 2 is visible.  When I put
everything in JScrollPane I get blank window...

public class Applet extends JApplet
{
 public void init ()
 {   
    JPanel graphics1 = new JPanel();
    JPanel graphics2 = new JPanel();
    graphics1.setLayout (new BoxLayout (graphics1, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
       graphics2.setLayout (new BoxLayout (graphics2, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));

    graphics1.add (new drawGraphics1()); //
    graphics2.add (new drawGraphics2()); // drawing only lines with
paintComponent
   
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
       panel.setLayout (new BoxLayout (panel, BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS));
       panel.add (graphics1);
       panel.add (graphics2);
       JScrollPane scroller = new JScrollPane (panel);
      
       Container cp = getContentPane();
       cp.add (panel);  // panel 2 is shrinked
       //cp.add (scroller);  //blank window
      
       public void init ()
       {
           ...
       }
 }
 
 public static void main (String[] args)
 {
     ...
 }
