Layout Editors
A number of components are also in fact containers. Examples
of containers are: Panel, Frame, and BezelPanel. Containers
can contain other components. Containers organize how their
components are displayed using layouts. The JDK provides 5 standard layouts:
- CardLayout
- BorderLayout
- FlowLayout
- GridLayout
- GridBagLayout
- BoxLayout
Visaj provides four extra layouts called SuperGrid, DlogTemplateLayout, ColumnPackedRCLayout, and TightPackedRCLayout.
To set which layout a container uses, select the container and bring up
the Property Sheet and
set the layout to whatever you wish.
If you then click on the container and press the Layout Editor icon (
)in the toolbar, you will be shown the Layout Editor.
