Method Summary

Size[]	getSizes() Creates a map of all sizes for which this block knows how to make an optimal layout.
void	setBounds(int x, int y, int width, int height) Sets the boundaries of this block.

void	setOrientation(TabPlacement placement) Tells this LayoutBlock at which side of the tabs it is shown.

Method Detail

getSizes

Size[] getSizes()

Creates a map of all sizes for which this block knows how to make an optimal layout. If for example this block consists of 12 buttons, then different sizes might lead to a row of 12 blocks, to 2 rows of 6 blocks, to 3 rows of 4 blocks, etc...

Returns:

the map of sizes, may be empty or null

setLayout

void setLayout(Size size)

Sets the layout of this block, the exact meaning of size depends on this block. In general keys returned by the last call of getSizes() must be accepted, for any other key the behavior is unspecified.

Parameters:

size - the new layout

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if key is null or cannot be read

setBounds

void setBounds(int x,
               int y,
               int width,
               int height)

Sets the boundaries of this block. The component(s) represented by this block must somehow fit into the rectangle.

Parameters:

x - the x coordinate

y - the y coordinate

width - the width in pixel

height - the height in pixel

setOrientation

void setOrientation(TabPlacement placement)

Tells this LayoutBlock at which side of the tabs it is shown.

Parameters:

placement - the placement, not null

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if placement is null
