Foil 123 Hierarchical use of LayoutManagers

From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Layout's can be made very sophisticated using an hierarchical approach
setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3,10,5)); // Number of cells in y, Number in x, Horizontal gap, Vertical Gap
subpanel1 = new MysubpanelClass(); // Add arguments to make subpanel1 special
subpanel2 = new MysubpanelClass();
add(Some Simple Component such as a Button);
add(subpanel1);
add(subpanel2);
..........
Class MysubpanelClass extends panel { // has constructor
MysubpanelClass() { // that includes another layout such as
setLayout(new GridLayout(7,7,5,5); // etc.
