NaturalLayout
The NaturalLayout concentrates on where the intelligence of widget spacing should be, and therefor provides (intelligent) default values that allow any GUI to suddenly take a lot less coding to display. NaturalLayout is a layout manager that arranges components in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. NaturalLayout allows each row or column to be a different size. A row or column can be given an absolute size in pixels, or it can grow and shrink according to the widgets that are contained. |

XTableLayout, XGridLayout
XTableLayout provides the power of GridBagLayout without its oddities plus some additional features (like respecting components' maximum sizes). Sensible defaults make easy layouts a snap while more details can easily be specified to achieve complex layouts. XGridLayout closely resembles Swing's standard GridLayout, but can restrain multiple containers to use the same grid size (useful to enfore the same size for buttons in the same dialog but different panels) - plus it adds some more minor features.
Both layouts follow the Swing layout framework without introducing any builder or other helper classes. |
