The document discusses layout managers in Java, which help create consistent graphical interfaces across the internet. It details five types of layout managers: Flow Layout, Grid Layout, Border Layout, Card Layout, and Gridbag Layout, with a focus on Card Layout and GridBagLayout. Additionally, it explains the structure and initialization of an Applet using these layout managers, particularly highlighting the use of GridBagConstraints for flexible component placement.

Layout Manager

A layout manager allows the java programmer to develop graphical


interfaces that will have a common appearance across the
heterogeneous internet.There are five layout managers that the
programmer may choose from:
•Flow Layout
•Grid Layout
•Border Layout
•Card Layout
•Gridbag Layout
Layout

• A Component can be displayed on a screen and a user can
interact with a Component.

• A Container is a Component that can hold other


Components.

• A Layout Manager directs the placement of Components


within a Container.

Card Layout:
• A card layout is a group of components or containers that are
displayed one at a time.

• Components or containers are placed on a card using the


statement:add (String, component);

Card Layout Construction:
• The Applet contains an ordered listing (array) of cards in one
of its panels

Applet Declarations:
• public class CardDemo extends Applet {
private final int numCards = _; //whatever the number
private String[] = new CardLabels[numCards];
//construct an array for holding CardPanel objects - specified in separate file
private CardPanel[ ] cards = new CardPanel [numCards];
private CardLayout theLayout; //Layout for CardPanels
//Create a Panel for displaying CardPanel objects in the Applet (green area)
private Panel cardDisplay Panel;

Applet initialization :
• public void init() {
//essential statements for card display
setLayout (new BorderLayout); //layout for the Applet
add("West", makeOther Panel()); //2nd parameter returns a Panel
add("Center", makeCardDisplay Panel()); /*2nd param returns a
Panel */
}

CardPanel Object:
• Card Panel is a separately declared class that extends Panel
• CardPanels are containers with their own Components and
Layout
• CardPanel objects are created in method makeCardDisplay
Panel() of Applet
• CardPanel objects are stored in the array cards

Gridbag Layout:
• GridBagLayout is the most complex and most flexible of the
layout managers.
• With GridLayout, elements are arranged in a rectangular
grid, and each element in the container is sized identically
(where possible).
• With GridBagLayout, elements can have different sizes and
can occupy multiple rows or columns
• Note: The maximum capacity of a screen using GridBagLayout is 512 rows by 512 columns. This is
specified by the protected MAXGRIDSIZE constant of the layout manager

Gridbag Layout:
• How GridBagLayout counts Rows and columns
Layout
Manager
GridBagConstraints Class :
• The magic of the layout manager is strictly controlled by the
different GridBagConstraints objects passed in for each
component added to the container.
• Each specifies how to display a specific component. Unlike
most other layout managers, which have a built-in idea
about what to do with their display, the GridBagLayout is a
blank slate.
• The constraints attached to the components tell the layout
manager how to build its display.
