BorderLayout

• The BorderLayout divides the applet area into 5 spaces, called North, South, East, West, and Center. It tries to make the edges long and skinny, and to leave the Center area as big as possible.

• To get a BorderLayout, use the setLayout method: setLayout ( new BorderLayout ( ) );

• To add components, also say which area they should go in: add ( button1, BorderLayout.NORTH );
