| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
| int | getContainerGap(JComponent component, int position, Container parent)
Returns the amount of space to position a component inside its
parent.
|
| int | getPreferredGap(JComponent component1, JComponent component2, int type, int position, Container parent)
Returns the amount of space to use between two components.
|
| static void | main(String[] args) |
Parameters: component the Component being positioned position the position component is being placed
relative to its parent; one of
SwingConstants.NORTH,
SwingConstants.SOUTH,
SwingConstants.EAST or
SwingConstants.WEST parent the parent of component; this may differ
from the actual parent and may be null
Returns: the amount of space to place between the component and specified edge
Throws: IllegalArgumentException if position is not
one of SwingConstants.NORTH,
SwingConstants.SOUTH,
SwingConstants.EAST or
SwingConstants.WEST;
or component is null
component2 relative to component1.
For example, the following returns the amount of space to place
between component2 and component1
when component2 is placed vertically above
component1:
int gap = getPreferredGap(component1, component2,
LayoutStyle.RELATED,
SwingConstants.NORTH, parent);
The type parameter indicates the type
of gap being requested. It can be one of the following values:
RELATED
| If the two components will be contained in
the same parent and are showing similar logically related
items, use RELATED.
|
UNRELATED
| If the two components will be
contained in the same parent but show logically unrelated items
use UNRELATED.
|
INDENT
| Used to obtain the preferred distance to indent a component
relative to another. For example, if you want to horizontally
indent a JCheckBox relative to a JLabel use INDENT.
This is only useful for the horizontal axis.
|
It's important to note that some look and feels may not distinguish
between RELATED and UNRELATED.
The return value is not intended to take into account the
current size and position of component2 or
component1. The return value may take into
consideration various properties of the components. For
example, the space may vary based on font size, or the preferred
size of the component.
Parameters: component1 the JComponent
component2 is being placed relative to component2 the JComponent being placed type how the two components are being placed position the position component2 is being placed
relative to component1; one of
SwingConstants.NORTH,
SwingConstants.SOUTH,
SwingConstants.EAST or
SwingConstants.WEST parent the parent of component2; this may differ
from the actual parent and may be null
Returns: the amount of space to place between the two components
Throws: IllegalArgumentException if position is not
one of SwingConstants.NORTH,
SwingConstants.SOUTH,
SwingConstants.EAST or
SwingConstants.WEST; type not one
of INDENT, RELATED
or UNRELATED; or component1 or
component2 is null
