   +----java.awt.CardLayout

public class CardLayout

extends Object

implements LayoutManager2, Serializable

CardLayout()

Creates a new card layout with gaps of size zero.

CardLayout(int, int)

Creates a card layout with the specified gaps.

addLayoutComponent(Component, Object)

Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object.

addLayoutComponent(String, Component)

Replaced by addLayoutComponent(Component, Object). Deprecated.

first(Container)

Flip to the first card.

getHgap()

Returns the horizontal gap between components.

getLayoutAlignmentX(Container)

Returns the alignment along the x axis.

getLayoutAlignmentY(Container)

Returns the alignment along the y axis.

getVgap()

Returns the vertical gap between components.

invalidateLayout(Container)

Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.

last(Container)

Flips to the last card of the specified container.

layoutContainer(Container)

Performs a layout in the specified panel.

maximumLayoutSize(Container)

Returns the maximum dimensions for this layout given the components in the specified target container.

minimumLayoutSize(Container)

Calculates the minimum size for the specified panel.

next(Container)

Flips to the next card of the specified container.

preferredLayoutSize(Container)

Calculates the preferred size for the specified panel.

previous(Container)

Flips to the previous card of the specified container.

removeLayoutComponent(Component)

Removes the specified component from the layout.

setHgap(int)

Sets the horizontal gap between components.

setVgap(int)

Sets the vertical gap between components.

show(Container, String)

Flips to the specified component name in the specified container.

toString()

Returns the String representation of this CardLayout's values.

 public CardLayout()

Creates a new card layout with gaps of size zero.

 public CardLayout(int hgap,
                   int vgap)

Creates a card layout with the specified gaps.

Parameters:

vgap - the vertical gap

 public int getHgap()

Returns the horizontal gap between components.

 public void setHgap(int hgap)

Sets the horizontal gap between components.

Parameters:

hgap - the horizontal gap between components

 public int getVgap()

Returns the vertical gap between components.

 public void setVgap(int vgap)

Sets the vertical gap between components.

Parameters:

vgap - the vertical gap between components

 public void addLayoutComponent(Component comp,
                                Object constraints)

Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be added

constraints - where/how the component is added to the layout.

 public void addLayoutComponent(String name,
                                Component comp)

Note: addLayoutComponent() is deprecated.

Replaced by addLayoutComponent(Component, Object).

 public void removeLayoutComponent(Component comp)

Removes the specified component from the layout.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be removed

 public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container parent)

Calculates the preferred size for the specified panel.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

Returns:

the dimensions of this panel.

See Also:

minimumLayoutSize

 public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container parent)

Calculates the minimum size for the specified panel.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

Returns:

the dimensions of this panel.

See Also:

preferredLayoutSize

 public Dimension maximumLayoutSize(Container target)

Returns the maximum dimensions for this layout given the components in the specified target container.

Parameters:

target - the component which needs to be laid out

See Also:

Container, minimumLayoutSize, preferredLayoutSize

 public float getLayoutAlignmentX(Container parent)

Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

 public float getLayoutAlignmentY(Container parent)

Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.

 public void invalidateLayout(Container target)

Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.

 public void layoutContainer(Container parent)

Performs a layout in the specified panel.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

 public void first(Container parent)

Flip to the first card.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

 public void next(Container parent)

Flips to the next card of the specified container.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the container

 public void previous(Container parent)

Flips to the previous card of the specified container.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

 public void last(Container parent)

Flips to the last card of the specified container.

Parameters:

parent - the name of the parent container

 public void show(Container parent,
                  String name)
