htmllayout
Class HtmlLayout
java.lang.Object
|
+--htmllayout.HtmlLayout
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- java.awt.LayoutManager
- public class HtmlLayout
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements java.awt.LayoutManager
HtmlLayout uses a string containing HTML like table tags to
layout components.
Ex:
<table rows=2 cols=2>
<tr>
<td> A label
<td component=someName>
<tr>
<td component=anotherName vert=max>
<td component="some other name" horz=max>
Tags and their options
Table
- Contains TR
- horz= LEFT | RIGHT | CENTER | FIT | (MAX)
Specifies how the table fills the available width
- vert= TOP | BOTTOM | CENTER | FIT | (MAX)
Specifies how the table fills the available height
- rows=y ; y = rowCount (req)
- cols=y ; y = colCount (req)
- hgap=y ; y = horizontal gap between components
- vgap=y ; y = vertical gap between components
- hpad=y ; y = horizontal padding (components made wider)
- vpad=y ; y = vertical padding (components made taller)
TR
- Contains TD
- vgap=y ; y = gap between this row and the row above
TD
- Contains text (creates a label) or TABLE but only if no component
is specified. Nested tables inherit the gaps and pads of their
enclosing table.
- colspan=y
- rowspan=y
- horz= (LEFT) | RIGHT | CENTER | FIT | MAX
Specifies how the component fills the available cell width
- vert= TOP | BOTTOM | (CENTER) | FIT | MAX
Specifies how the component fills the available cell height
- hgap=y ; y = horizontal gap between components
- vgap=y ; y = vertical gap between components
- hpad=y ; y = horizontal padding
- vpad=y ; y = vertical padding (components made larger)
- component="componentName" ; this is the name that must be used
when add is called, as in add(comp, "componentName")

HtmlLayout
public HtmlLayout(java.lang.String html)
- Creates an HtmlLayout with the specified "HTML" string.
- Parameters:
html
- The "HTML" which specifies the layout, if this is not valid
table-html a BadTableHtmlException will be thrown. Html can
be tested ahead of time using HtmlLayoutTest.- See Also:
BadTableHtmlException
,
HtmlLayoutTest
addLabels
public void addLabels(java.awt.Container parent)
- If this layout includes any automatic lables (text within a TD)
this will add them to container parent.
It is not always necessary to call this, if you don't it will
automatically be called when the container is first sized or
layed out. Ordinarily this is ok but not always, such as when
using CardLayout. Calling addLabels manually at the same time
as the other components are added will never be a problem.
