Code Explanation

final LayerBuilder layerBuilder = new LayerBuilder();

Constructs a new LayerBuilder. You can view the documentation here.

You can reuse the builder, so you won't need to create a new LayerBuilder every time you want to create a new check box.

---

layerBuilder.setPosition(10, 10);

This tells the builder to place the check box at position (10x, 10y).

---

layerBuilder.setWidth(5);
layerBuilder.setHeight(5);

This tells the builder that the layer should be 5 cells wide and 5 cells tall.

---

layerBuilder.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK);

This sets the background color of the layer to black.

---

panel.addComponents(layerBuilder.build());

This builds the layer and adds it to the panel.
