  verinec.gui.GuiUtil.SpringUtilities

Enclosing class:

GuiUtil

public static class GuiUtil.SpringUtilities
extends Object

A helper class that provides utility methods for creating form- or grid-style layouts with SpringLayout. These utilities are used by several programs, such as SpringBox and SpringCompactGrid. (Taken from Swing tutorial at java.sun.com for making SpringLayout usable.)

Method Detail

printSizes

public static void printSizes(Component c)

A debugging utility that prints to stdout the component's minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes.

Parameters:

c - The Component.

makeGrid

public static void makeGrid(Container parent,
                            int rows,
                            int cols,
                            int initialX,
                            int initialY,
                            int xPad,
                            int yPad)

Aligns the first rows * cols components of parent in a grid. Each component is as big as the maximum preferred width and height of the components. The parent is made just big enough to fit them all.

Parameters:

parent - The component with SpringLayout.

rows - number of rows

cols - number of columns

initialX - x location to start the grid at

initialY - y location to start the grid at

xPad - x padding between cells

yPad - y padding between cells

getConstraintsForCell

private static SpringLayout.Constraints getConstraintsForCell(int row,
                                                              int col,
                                                              Container parent,
                                                              int cols)

makeCompactGrid

public static void makeCompactGrid(Container parent,
                                   int rows,
                                   int cols,
                                   int initialX,
                                   int initialY,
                                   int xPad,
                                   int yPad)

Aligns the first rows * cols components of parent in a grid. Each component in a column is as wide as the maximum preferred width of the components in that column; height is similarly determined for each row. The parent is made just big enough to fit them all.

Parameters:

parent - The component with SpringLayout.

rows - number of rows

cols - number of columns

initialX - x location to start the grid at

initialY - y location to start the grid at

xPad - x padding between cells

yPad - y padding between cells
