Method Detail

nullLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> nullLayout()

The 'NullLayout' does no layouting at all. It returns the containers size for min-, max-, and preferred size.

Returns:

The layout factory that produces 'NullLayouts'

preferredSizeLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> preferredSizeLayout()

Creates 'PreferredSizeLayout': layout(): sets the sizes of the controls to the preferred size, positions must be set by the container getPreferredSize(): get the size needed to layout all controls at its current position with its preferred size getMinSize(): gets the preferred size getMaxSize(): gets the preferred size

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'PreferredSizeLayouts'

flowLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> flowLayout()

Creates 'FlowLayout' layout(): set the sizes of the controls to the preferred size, positions the controls side by side (alignment == VERTICAL) or below each other (alignment == HORIZONTAL) with the given gap between the controls getPreferredSize: get the size needed to layout all controls getMinSize(): gets the preferred size getMaxSize(): returns new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE)

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'FlowLayouts'

flowLayoutBuilder

IFlowLayoutFactoryBuilder flowLayoutBuilder()

Returns:

A builder for an 'FlowLayout'

fillLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> fillLayout()

Creates 'FillLayout' 'FillLayout' allows only one visible control in the container when calculation is done. If more than one control is visible, it will be ignored for the layouting. layout(): The size of the visible control is set to the containers clientAreaSize getPreferredSize(): Returns the preferred size of the visible control getMinSize(): Returns the min size of the visible control getMaxSize(): returns new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE)

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'FillLayouts'

fillLayoutBuilder

IFillLayoutFactoryBuilder fillLayoutBuilder()

Returns:

A builder for an 'FillLayout'

cachedFillLayout

ILayoutFactory<ICachedFillLayout> cachedFillLayout()

Creates a 'CachedFillLayout' 'CachedFillLayout' allows only one visible control in the container when calculation is done. If more than one control is visible, it will be ignored for the layouting. layout(): The size of the visible control is set to the containers clientAreaSize getPreferredSize(): Returns the preferred size of the visible control getMinSize(): Returns the min size of the visible control getMaxSize(): returns new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE) The PreferredSize, MinSize() and MaxSize() will be cached, until clear cache will be invoked In many cases, the min, max and pref size of the child container will not change until the child container has not been changed by adding or removing children. So using this layout manager as a parent for a complex layout can improve performance extremely. The tradeoff is, that the programmer has to take care for container changes itself and clearing the cache.

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'CachedFillLayouts'

borderLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> borderLayout()

Creates 'BorderLayout' A border layout lays out a container that can consist of five regions: left, right, top, bottom, and center. Each region can contain at most one control, and regions can be empty. The center region will grow in x and y dimension, the other regions will be arranged around the center. When adding a control to a container with a border layout, use the BorderLayoutConstraints to define the region to add to.

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'BorderLayouts'

borderLayoutBuilder

IBorderLayoutFactoryBuilder borderLayoutBuilder()

Creates a builder for a 'BorderLayout' factory A border layout lays out a container that can consist of five regions: left, right, top, bottom, and center. Each region can contain at most one control, and regions can be empty. The center region will grow in x and y dimension, the other regions will be arranged around the center. When adding a control to a container with a border layout, use the BorderLayoutConstraints to define the region to add to.

Returns:

The builder

migLayout

ILayoutFactory<IMigLayout> migLayout()

Creates 'MigLayout'

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'MigLayouts'

migLayoutBuilder

IMigLayoutFactoryBuilder migLayoutBuilder()

Creates a builder for a 'MigLayout' factory

Returns:

The builder

getMigLayoutToolkit

IMigLayoutToolkit getMigLayoutToolkit()

Delivers the 'MigLayout' toolkit, which provides access to the constraints classes, platform defaults and version

Returns:

The toolkit

listLayout

ILayoutFactory<ILayouter> listLayout()

Creates 'ListLayout' A ListLayout is kind of a vertical Flow Layout

Returns:

A layout factory that produces 'ListLayouts'

listLayoutBuilder

IListLayoutFactoryBuilder listLayoutBuilder()

Creates a builder for a 'ListLayout' factory

Returns:

The builder

tableLayoutBuilder

ITableLayoutBuilder tableLayoutBuilder()

Creates a builder for the 'tabelLayout'

Returns:

The builder
