Class EdgeLayout

java.lang.Object

xal.tools.apputils.EdgeLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.LayoutManager

public class EdgeLayout
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.LayoutManager

EdgeLayout allows the developer a simpler mechanism for layout of components than the GridBagLayout without sacrificing powerful layout capability. The developer simply defines the behavior of motion for the component with respect to its parent and how the component grows. The motion is specified by struts between the edges of the the component and the corresponding edges of the parent container. For example, if you use a RIGHT strut, the component is bound to its parent's right edge according to the initial placement of the component. That is, the gap between the right edges of the parent and its container is preserved. If the component is bound left and right to its parent and the component is constrained to grow horizontally, the component will maintain the left and right gaps with its parent container and grow accordingly.
