Layout Element#

public class LayoutElement#

How much space a user interface element asks a Layout for.

Note

A layout gives every element its minimum size first. Any space left over is shared out to bring elements up to their preferred size, and anything still left over is shared between the elements with a flexible size, in proportion to it.

org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> getMinSize()#

void setMinSize(org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> value)#: The smallest size the element can be given, in pixels. A negative value in either direction leaves that direction unconstrained.

org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> getPreferredSize()#

void setPreferredSize(org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> value)#: The size the element asks for, in pixels. A negative value in either direction leaves that direction unconstrained.

org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> getFlexibleSize()#

void setFlexibleSize(org.javatuples.Pair<Double, Double> value)#: The share the element takes of the space left over once every element has its preferred size. A negative value in either direction takes no share.

boolean getIgnoreLayout()#

void setIgnoreLayout(boolean value)#: Whether the layout leaves the element out and lets it be positioned by hand.
