BasicComboBoxUI.ComboBoxLayoutManager	This layout manager handles the 'standard' layout of combo boxes.
BasicInternalFrameTitlePane.TitlePaneLayout	This class should be treated as a "protected" inner class.
BasicInternalFrameUI.InternalFrameLayout
BasicOptionPaneUI.ButtonAreaLayout	`ButtonAreaLayout` behaves in a similar manner to `FlowLayout`.
BasicScrollBarUI	Implementation of ScrollBarUI for the Basic Look and Feel
BasicSplitPaneDivider.DividerLayout	Used to layout a `BasicSplitPaneDivider`.
BasicSplitPaneUI.BasicHorizontalLayoutManager	LayoutManager for JSplitPanes that have an orientation of HORIZONTAL_SPLIT.
BasicSplitPaneUI.BasicVerticalLayoutManager	LayoutManager used for JSplitPanes with an orientation of VERTICAL_SPLIT.
BasicTabbedPaneUI.TabbedPaneLayout	This class should be treated as a "protected" inner class.
BorderLayout	A border layout lays out a container, arranging and resizing its components to fit in five regions: north, south, east, west, and center.
BoxLayout	A layout manager that allows multiple components to be laid out either vertically or horizontally.
CardLayout	A `CardLayout` object is a layout manager for a container.
DefaultMenuLayout	The default layout manager for Popup menus and menubars.
FlowLayout	A flow layout arranges components in a directional flow, much like lines of text in a paragraph.
GridBagLayout	The `GridBagLayout` class is a flexible layout manager that aligns components vertically, horizontally or along their baseline without requiring that the components be of the same size.
GridLayout	The `GridLayout` class is a layout manager that lays out a container's components in a rectangular grid.
GroupLayout	`GroupLayout` is a `LayoutManager` that hierarchically groups components in order to position them in a `Container`.
HorizBagLayout	A horizontal 'bag' of Components.
JRootPane.RootLayout	A custom layout manager that is responsible for the layout of layeredPane, glassPane, and menuBar.
JSpinner.DateEditor	An editor for a `JSpinner` whose model is a `SpinnerDateModel`.
JSpinner.DefaultEditor	A simple base class for more specialized editors that displays a read-only view of the model's current value with a `JFormattedTextField`.
JSpinner.ListEditor	An editor for a `JSpinner` whose model is a `SpinnerListModel`.
JSpinner.NumberEditor	An editor for a `JSpinner` whose model is a `SpinnerNumberModel`.
LayoutManager2	Defines an interface for classes that know how to layout Containers based on a layout constraints object.
MetalComboBoxUI.MetalComboBoxLayoutManager	This inner class is marked "public" due to a compiler bug.
MetalScrollBarUI	Implementation of ScrollBarUI for the Metal Look and Feel
MetalTabbedPaneUI.TabbedPaneLayout	This inner class is marked "public" due to a compiler bug.
MotifComboBoxUI.ComboBoxLayoutManager	This inner class is marked "public" due to a compiler bug.
MotifInternalFrameTitlePane	Class that manages a Motif title bar
MotifScrollBarUI	Implementation of ScrollBarUI for the Motif Look and Feel Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases.
OrientableFlowLayout	Extends the FlowLayout class to support both vertical and horizontal layout of components.
OverlayLayout	A layout manager to arrange components over the top of each other.
ScrollPaneLayout	The layout manager used by `JScrollPane`.
ScrollPaneLayout.UIResource	The UI resource version of `ScrollPaneLayout`.
SpringLayout	A `SpringLayout` lays out the children of its associated container according to a set of constraints.
VariableGridLayout
VerticalBagLayout	A vertical 'bag' of Components.
ViewportLayout	The default layout manager for `JViewport`.
WindowsInternalFrameTitlePane.WindowsTitlePaneLayout
WindowsScrollBarUI	Windows rendition of the component.

Class Overview

Defines the interface for classes that know how to lay out Containers.

Swing's painting architecture assumes the children of a JComponent do not overlap. If a JComponent's LayoutManager allows children to overlap, the JComponent must override isOptimizedDrawingEnabled to return false.

Summary

Public Methods
abstract void	addLayoutComponent(String name, Component comp) If the layout manager uses a per-component string, adds the component `comp` to the layout, associating it with the string specified by `name`.
abstract void	layoutContainer(Container parent) Lays out the specified container.
abstract Dimension	minimumLayoutSize(Container parent) Calculates the minimum size dimensions for the specified container, given the components it contains.
abstract Dimension	preferredLayoutSize(Container parent) Calculates the preferred size dimensions for the specified container, given the components it contains.
abstract void	removeLayoutComponent(Component comp) Removes the specified component from the layout.

Public Methods

public abstract void addLayoutComponent (String name, Component comp)

If the layout manager uses a per-component string, adds the component comp to the layout, associating it with the string specified by name.

Parameters

name	the string to be associated with the component
comp	the component to be added

public abstract void layoutContainer (Container parent)

Lays out the specified container.

Parameters

parent	the container to be laid out

public abstract Dimension minimumLayoutSize (Container parent)

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

Parameters

parent	the component to be laid out

public abstract Dimension preferredLayoutSize (Container parent)

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

Parameters

parent	the container to be laid out

public abstract void removeLayoutComponent (Component comp)

Removes the specified component from the layout.

Parameters

comp	the component to be removed
