Layout Managers
The various panels in a container are laid out separately in terms of their subcomponents
The arrangement is controlled by general strategies which are embodied in 5 LayoutMangers
To create a layout, such as FlowLayout, in your panel:
- setLayout(new FlowLayout());
- This particular Layout is the default and flows in the components in the order that the add method is called.
Other Layout Managers:
- GridLayout - a regular rectangular grid (table)
- BorderLayout - 5 areas as in diagram
- GridBagLayout - general arrangement of space
- CardLayout - card panels replace each other in the same space.
