  All Methods

  Modifier and Type	Method	Description
  void	addLayoutComponent (Component comp, Object constraints)	Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object.
  float	getLayoutAlignmentX (Container target)	Returns the alignment along the x axis.
  float	getLayoutAlignmentY (Container target)	Returns the alignment along the y axis.
  void	invalidateLayout (Container target)	Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.

  • addLayoutComponent

    void addLayoutComponent(Component comp,
     Object constraints)

    Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object.

    Parameters:

    comp - the component to be added

    constraints - where/how the component is added to the layout.

  • maximumLayoutSize

    Dimension maximumLayoutSize(Container target)

    Calculates the maximum size dimensions for the specified container, given the components it contains.

  • getLayoutAlignmentX

    float getLayoutAlignmentX(Container target)

    Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

  • getLayoutAlignmentY

    float getLayoutAlignmentY(Container target)

    Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

  • invalidateLayout

    void invalidateLayout(Container target)

    Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.
