All Implemented Interfaces:

LayoutManager, Serializable

public class ColumnButtonLayout
extends ButtonLayout

Lays out the components in column(s) forcing all of the components to be the same size. This LayoutManager is very useful for laying out a column of buttons (if you want a row of buttons, see RowButtonLayout. The buttons will not stretch if the container is too tall or too wide, instead the buttons will stay clustered together in the area indicated by the AnchorPoint.

Constructor Detail

ColumnButtonLayout

public ColumnButtonLayout(int rowGap,
                          int colGap,
                          int borderGap,
                          AnchorPoint anchorPoint,
                          int colCount)

Creates a layout for a column (or columns) of equally sized components.

Parameters:

rowGap - - space between rows. See setRowGap.

colGap - - space between columns—if there is more than one column. See setColumnGap.

borderGap - - space around the outside of the buttons. See setBorderGap.

anchorPoint - - region to anchor to when there is extra space See setAnchorPoint.

colCount - - the number of columns to create, very often just 1. See setColumnCount.

Method Detail

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Returns the number of columns that this layout will always have. The number of rows is calculated based on the number of components in the container.

setColumnCount

public void setColumnCount(int columnCount)

Changes the number of columns in this layout. Passed value is silently increased to 1 if a smaller count is specified.
