java.lang.Object java.awt.FlowLayout
public class FlowLayout
Disabled: no SafeJ information.
A flow layout arranges components in a directional flow, much
like lines of text in a paragraph. The flow direction is
determined by the container's componentOrientation
property and may be one of two values:
ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT
ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT
align
property. The possible values are:
For example, the following picture shows an applet using the flow layout manager (its default layout manager) to position three buttons:
Here is the code for this applet:
import java.awt.*; import java.applet.Applet; public class myButtons extends Applet { Button button1, button2, button3; public void init() { button1 = new Button("Ok"); button2 = new Button("Open"); button3 = new Button("Close"); add(button1); add(button2); add(button3); } }
A flow layout lets each component assume its natural (preferred) size.

Serialized FormField Summary | |
---|---|
static int |
CENTER
This value indicates that each row of components should be centered. |
static int |
LEADING
This value indicates that each row of components should be justified to the leading edge of the container's orientation, for example, to the left in left-to-right orientations. |
static int |
LEFT
This value indicates that each row of components should be left-justified. |
static int |
RIGHT
This value indicates that each row of components should be right-justified. |
static int |
TRAILING
This value indicates that each row of components should be justified to the trailing edge of the container's orientation, for example, to the right in left-to-right orientations. |
Constructor Summary | |
