Constructor Detail

JideBorderLayout

public JideBorderLayout()
Constructs a new border layout with no gaps between components.


JideBorderLayout

public JideBorderLayout(int hgap,
                        int vgap)
Constructs a border layout with the specified gaps between components. The horizontal gap is specified by hgap and the vertical gap is specified by vgap.

Parameters:
hgap - the horizontal gap.
vgap - the vertical gap.
Method Detail

getHgap

public int getHgap()
Returns the horizontal gap between components.

Returns:
the horizontal gap between components

setHgap

public void setHgap(int hgap)
Sets the horizontal gap between components.

Parameters:
hgap - the horizontal gap between components
Since:
JDK1.1

getVgap

public int getVgap()
Returns the vertical gap between components.

addLayoutComponent

public void addLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component comp,
                               java.lang.Object constraints)
Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object. For border layouts, the constraint must be one of the following constants: NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST, or CENTER.

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a component is added to a container using the Container.add method with the same argument types.

Specified by:
addLayoutComponent in interface java.awt.LayoutManager2
Parameters:
comp - the component to be added.
constraints - an object that specifies how and where the component is added to the layout.
Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the constraint object is not a string, or if it not one of the five specified constants.
Since:
JDK1.1
See Also:
Container.add(Component,Object)

addLayoutComponent

public void addLayoutComponent(java.lang.String name,
                               java.awt.Component comp)
Specified by:
addLayoutComponent in interface java.awt.LayoutManager

removeLayoutComponent

public void removeLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component comp)
Removes the specified component from this border layout. This method is called when a container calls its remove or removeAll methods. Most applications do not call this method directly.

Specified by:
removeLayoutComponent in interface java.awt.LayoutManager
Parameters:
comp - the component to be removed.
See Also:
Container.remove(Component), Container.removeAll()

minimumLayoutSize

public java.awt.Dimension minimumLayoutSize(java.awt.Container target)

This method is called when a container calls its getMinimumSize method. Most applications do not call this method directly.

Specified by:
minimumLayoutSize in interface java.awt.LayoutManager
Parameters:
target - the container in which to do the layout.
Returns:
the minimum dimensions needed to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.
See Also:
Container, Container.getMinimumSize()

preferredLayoutSize

public java.awt.Dimension preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container target)

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a container calls its getPreferredSize method.

Specified by:
preferredLayoutSize in interface java.awt.LayoutManager
Parameters:
target - the container in which to do the layout.
Returns:
the preferred dimensions to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.
See Also:

Specified by:
getLayoutAlignmentX in interface java.awt.LayoutManager2

getLayoutAlignmentY

public float getLayoutAlignmentY(java.awt.Container parent)
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.

Specified by:
getLayoutAlignmentY in interface java.awt.LayoutManager2

invalidateLayout

public void invalidateLayout(java.awt.Container target)
Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.

Specified by:
invalidateLayout in interface java.awt.LayoutManager2

layoutContainer

public void layoutContainer(java.awt.Container target)
Lays out the container argument using this border layout.

This method actually reshapes the components in the specified container in order to satisfy the constraints of this BorderLayout object. The NORTH and SOUTH components, if any, are placed at the top and bottom of the container, respectively. The WEST and EAST components are then placed on the left and right, respectively. Finally, the CENTER object is placed in any remaining space in the middle.

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a container calls its doLayout method.
