Since:

JDK1.0

EqualFlowLayout

public EqualFlowLayout(int align)

Constructs a new Flow Layout with the specified alignment and a default 5-unit horizontal and vertical gap. The value of the alignment argument must be one of FlowLayout.LEFT, FlowLayout.RIGHT, or FlowLayout.CENTER.

Parameters:

align - the alignment value

Since:

JDK1.0

EqualFlowLayout

public EqualFlowLayout(int align,
                       int hgap,
                       int vgap)

Creates a new flow layout manager with the indicated alignment and the indicated horizontal and vertical gaps.

The value of the alignment argument must be one of FlowLayout.LEFT, FlowLayout.RIGHT, or FlowLayout.CENTER.

Parameters:

align - the alignment value.

hgap - the horizontal gap between components.

vgap - the vertical gap between components.

Since:

JDK1.0

Method Detail

preferredLayoutSize

public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container target)

Returns the preferred dimensions for this layout given the components in the specified target container.

Overrides:

preferredLayoutSize in class FlowLayout

Parameters:

target - the component which needs to be laid out

Returns:

the preferred dimensions to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.

Since:

JDK1.0

minimumLayoutSize

public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container target)

Returns the minimum dimensions needed to layout the components contained in the specified target container.

Overrides:

minimumLayoutSize in class FlowLayout

Parameters:

target - the component which needs to be laid out

Returns:

the minimum dimensions to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.

Since:

JDK1.0

See Also:

preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container), Container, Container.doLayout()

layoutContainer

public void layoutContainer(Container target)

Lays out the container. This method lets each component take its preferred size by reshaping the components in the target container in order to satisfy the constraints of this FlowLayout object.

Overrides:

layoutContainer in class FlowLayout

Parameters:

target - the specified component being laid out.

Since:

JDK1.0
