public class CardLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager2, Serializable
A layout manager for a container that contains several 'cards'. Only one card is visible at a time, allowing you to flip through the cards.

Constructor Index

o CardLayout()
Creates a new card layout with gaps of size zero.
o CardLayout(int, int)
Creates a card layout with the specified gaps.

Method Index

o addLayoutComponent(Component, Object)
Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object.
o addLayoutComponent(String, Component)
Replaced by addLayoutComponent(Component, Object). Deprecated.
o first(Container)
Flip to the first card.
o getHgap()
Returns the horizontal gap between components.
o getLayoutAlignmentX(Container)
Returns the alignment along the x axis.
o getLayoutAlignmentY(Container)
Returns the alignment along the y axis.
o getVgap()
Returns the vertical gap between components.
o invalidateLayout(Container)
Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.
o last(Container)
Flips to the last card of the specified container.
o layoutContainer(Container)
Performs a layout in the specified panel.
o maximumLayoutSize(Container)
Returns the maximum dimensions for this layout given the components in the specified target container.
o minimumLayoutSize(Container)
Calculates the minimum size for the specified panel.
o next(Container)
Flips to the next card of the specified container.
o preferredLayoutSize(Container)
Calculates the preferred size for the specified panel.
o previous(Container)
Flips to the previous card of the specified container.
o removeLayoutComponent(Component)
Removes the specified component from the layout.
o setHgap(int)
Sets the horizontal gap between components.
o setVgap(int)
Sets the vertical gap between components.
o show(Container, String)
Flips to the specified component name in the specified container.
o toString()
Returns the String representation of this CardLayout's values.

Constructors

o CardLayout 
    method CardLayout() public
Creates a new card layout with gaps of size zero.

o CardLayout 
    method CardLayout(hgap=int, -
                      vgap=int) public
Creates a card layout with the specified gaps.

Parameters:
hgap - the horizontal gap
vgap - the vertical gap

Methods

o getHgap 
    method getHgap() returns int public
Returns the horizontal gap between components.

o setHgap 
    method setHgap(hgap=int)  public
Sets the horizontal gap between components.

Parameters:

o getVgap 
    method getVgap() returns int public
Returns the vertical gap between components.

o setVgap 
    method setVgap(vgap=int)  public

o addLayoutComponent 
    method addLayoutComponent(comp=Component, -
                              constraints=Object)  public
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.
o addLayoutComponent 
    method addLayoutComponent(name=String, -
                              comp=Component)  public
Note: addLayoutComponent() is deprecated.

Replaced by addLayoutComponent(Component, Object).

o removeLayoutComponent 
    method removeLayoutComponent(comp=Component)  public
Removes the specified component from the layout.

Parameters:
comp - the component to be removed
o preferredLayoutSize 
    method preferredLayoutSize(parent=Container) returns Dimension public
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
o minimumLayoutSize 
    method minimumLayoutSize(parent=Container) returns Dimension public
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
o maximumLayoutSize 
    method maximumLayoutSize(target=Container) returns Dimension public
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
o getLayoutAlignmentX 
    method getLayoutAlignmentX(parent=Container) returns float public
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.

o getLayoutAlignmentY 
    method getLayoutAlignmentY(parent=Container) returns float public
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.

o invalidateLayout 
    method invalidateLayout(target=Container)  public
Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.

o layoutContainer
