From Java Tutorial 98- 3: Graphics and the Abstract Windowing Toolkit NAVO Tutorial -- Sept 23 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Nancy McCracken


1 FlowLayout is a one dimensional layout where components are "flowed" into panel in order they were defined. When a row is full up, it is wrapped onto next row
2 BorderLayout arranges the components into five areas called North, South, East, West and Center.
3 GridLayout is a two dimensional layout where you define a N by M set of cells and again the components are assigned sequentially to cells starting at top left hand corner -- one component is in each cell. The cells are the same size.
4 CardLayout lays out in time not space and each card (Displayed at one time) can be laid out with one of spatial layout schemes above
5 GridBagLayout uses a class GridBagConstraints to customize positioning of individual components in one or more cells
