Class FlowLayout

Description
Description | Methods (details) 

  1. FlowLayout
    2.
is the most simple 
  1. Layout
    2.
; it renders a container by simply rendering all of the container's components. The width, height, and alignment options of the container and its components are ignored. No special arranging is done, and it is up to the browser or user to display the components properly.



Contrary to what one might think, this could be a very useful 

  1. Layout
    2.
. For eaxmple, it could be used to display components that are just 
  1. div
    2.
elements with aboslute positioning.

Layouts are assigned to Containers and they specify how (in terms of location, not appearance) the sub-
  1. Components
    2.
are going to be rendered on the screen.
