Method Details

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(GroupLayout.Group group)

Adds the specified Group to this SequentialGroup

Parameters:

group - the Group to add

Returns:

this Group

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(boolean useAsBaseline,
 GroupLayout.Group group)

Adds a Group to this Group.

Parameters:

useAsBaseline - whether the specified Group should be used to calculate the baseline for this Group

group - the Group to add

Returns:

this Group

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(Component component)

Adds the specified Component. If the Component's min/max are different from its pref than the component will be resizable.

Parameters:

component - the Component to add

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(boolean useAsBaseline,
 Component component)

Adds a Component to this Group.

Parameters:

useAsBaseline - whether the specified Component should be used to calculate the baseline for this Group

component - the Component to add

Returns:

this Group

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(Component component,
 int min,
 int pref,
 int max)

Adds the specified Component. Min, pref and max can be absolute values, or they can be one of DEFAULT_SIZE or PREFERRED_SIZE. For example, the following:

  add(component, PREFERRED_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE, 1000);

Forces a max of 1000, with the min and preferred equalling that of the preferred size of component.

Parameters:

component - the Component to add

min - the minimum size

pref - the preferred size

max - the maximum size

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if min, pref or max are not positive and not one of PREFERRED_SIZE or DEFAULT_SIZE

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(boolean useAsBaseline,
 Component component,
 int min,
 int pref,
 int max)

Adds a Component to this Group with the specified size.

Parameters:

useAsBaseline - whether the specified Component should be used to calculate the baseline for this Group

component - the Component to add

min - the minimum size or one of DEFAULT_SIZE or PREFERRED_SIZE

pref - the preferred size or one of DEFAULT_SIZE or PREFERRED_SIZE

max - the maximum size or one of DEFAULT_SIZE or PREFERRED_SIZE

Returns:

this Group

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(int pref)

Adds a rigid gap.

Parameters:

pref - the size of the gap

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if min invalid input: '<' 0 or pref invalid input: '<' 0 or max invalid input: '<' 0 or the following is not meant min invalid input: '<'= pref invalid input: '<'= max

add

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup add(int min,
 int pref,
 int max)

Adds a gap with the specified size.

Parameters:

min - the minimum size of the gap, or PREFERRED_SIZE

pref - the preferred size of the gap

max - the maximum size of the gap, or PREFERRED_SIZE

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if min invalid input: '<' 0 or pref invalid input: '<' 0 or max invalid input: '<' 0 or the following is not meant min invalid input: '<'= pref invalid input: '<'= max

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(JComponent comp1,
 JComponent comp2,
 int type)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the two components.

Parameters:

comp1 - the first component

comp2 - the second component

type - the type of gap; one of the constants defined by LayoutStyle

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type is not a valid LayoutStyle constant

See Also:

• LayoutStyle

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(JComponent comp1,
 JComponent comp2,
 int type,
 boolean canGrow)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the two components.

Parameters:

comp1 - the first component

comp2 - the second component

type - the type of gap; one of the constants defined by LayoutStyle

canGrow - true if the gap can grow if more space is available

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type is not a valid LayoutStyle constant

See Also:

• LayoutStyle

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(int type)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the nearest components. That is, during layout the neighboring components are found, and the min, pref and max of this element is set based on the preferred gap between the components. If no neighboring components are found the min, pref and max are set to 0.

Parameters:

type - the type of gap; one of the LayoutStyle constants

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED

See Also:

• LayoutStyle

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(int type,
 int pref,
 int max)

Adds an element for the preferred gap between the nearest components. That is, during layout the neighboring components are found, and the min of this element is set based on the preferred gap between the components. If no neighboring components are found the min is set to 0. This method allows you to specify the preferred and maximum size by way of the pref and max arguments. These can either be a value >= 0, in which case the preferred or max is the max of the argument and the preferred gap, of DEFAULT_VALUE in which case the value is the same as the preferred gap.

Parameters:

type - the type of gap; one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED

pref - the preferred size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value > 0

max - the maximum size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value > 0

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED or pref/max is != DEFAULT_SIZE and invalid input: '<' 0, or pref > max

• LayoutStyle

addContainerGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap()

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between one edge of the container and the next/previous Component. This will have no effect if the next/previous element is not a Component and does not touch one edge of the parent container.

Returns:

this SequentialGroup.

addContainerGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap(int pref,
 int max)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between one edge of the container and the next/previous Component. This will have no effect if the next/previous element is not a Component and does not touch one edge of the parent container.

Parameters:

pref - the preferred size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value > 0

max - the maximum size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value > 0.

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if pref/max is != DEFAULT_SIZE and invalid input: '<' 0, or pref > max
