Interface Size

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    ConstantSize

    public interface Size
    An interface that describes sizes as used by the FormLayout: component measuring sizes, constant sizes with value and unit, and bounded sizes that provide lower and upper bounds for a size.

    You can find a motivation for the different Size types in the Forms article that is part of the product documentation and that is available online too, see http://www.jgoodies.com/articles/forms.pdf.

      • maximumSize

        int maximumSize​(java.awt.Container container,
                        java.util.List components,
                        com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure minMeasure,
                        com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure prefMeasure,
                        com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure defaultMeasure)
        Computes and returns my maximum size applied to the given list of components using the specified measures.

        Invoked by FormSpec to determine the size of a column or row. This method is not intended to be called by API users, and it uses API invisible parameter types.

        Parameters:
        container - the layout container
        components - the list of components used to compute the size
        minMeasure - the measure that determines the minimum sizes
        prefMeasure - the measure that determines the preferred sizes
        defaultMeasure - the measure that determines the default sizes
        Returns:
        the maximum size in pixels for the given list of components
