addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(javax.swing.JComponent comp1,
                                                   javax.swing.JComponent comp2,

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(int type)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the nearest components. That is, during layout the neighboring components are found, and the min, pref and max of this element is set based on the preferred gap between the components. If no neighboring components are found the min, pref and max are set to 0.

Parameters:

type - the type of gap; one of the LayoutStyle constants

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED

LayoutStyle

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(int type,
                                                   int pref,
                                                   int max)

Adds an element for the preferred gap between the nearest components. That is, during layout the neighboring components are found, and the min of this element is set based on the preferred gap between the components. If no neighboring components are found the min is set to 0. This method allows you to specify the preferred and maximum size by way of the pref and max arguments. These can either be a value >= 0, in which case the preferred or max is the max of the argument and the preferred gap, of DEFAULT_VALUE in which case the value is the same as the preferred gap.

Parameters:

type - the type of gap; one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED

pref - the preferred size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value > 0

max - the maximum size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value > 0

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.RELATED or LayoutStyle.UNRELATED or pref/max is != DEFAULT_SIZE and < 0, or pref > max

LayoutStyle

addContainerGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap()

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between one edge of the container and the next/previous Component. This will have no effect if the next/previous element is not a Component and does not touch one edge of the parent container.

Returns:

this SequentialGroup.

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap(int pref,
                                                   int max)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between one edge of the container and the next/previous Component. This will have no effect if the next/previous element is not a Component and does not touch one edge of the parent container.

Parameters:

pref - the preferred size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value > 0

max - the maximum size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value > 0.

Returns:

this SequentialGroup

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if pref/max is != DEFAULT_SIZE and < 0, or pref > max
