Constructor Detail

IlvStackerLayout

public IlvStackerLayout()

Creates a new instance of IlvStackerLayout

IlvStackerLayout

public IlvStackerLayout(int orientation,
                        int alignment,
                        int spacing)

Creates a new stacker graphic for the attribute or representation object, with the given characteristics for orientation, alignment and spacing.

Parameters:

orientation - either SwingConstants.TOP or SwingConstants.BOTTOM or SwingConstants.LEFT or SwingConstants.RIGHT

alignment - either SwingConstants.TOP or SwingConstants.BOTTOM or SwingConstants.LEFT or SwingConstants.RIGHT or SwingConstants.CENTER

IlvStackerLayout

public IlvStackerLayout(IlvInputStream stream)
                 throws IlvReadFileException

Reads the object from an IlvInputStream.

Parameters:

stream - The input stream.

Throws:

IlvReadFileException - if the format is not correct.

Method Detail

checkValues

protected void checkValues()

This method just checks if the values defined for the stacker characteristics are valid. This method may modify the values to correct an internal value.

setOrientation

public void setOrientation(int orientation)

Returns the current orientation.

getOrientation

public int getOrientation()

Returns the current orientation.

setAlignment

public void setAlignment(int alignment)

Returns the alignment used in the stacker children.

getAlignment

public int getAlignment()

Returns the alignment used in the stacker children.

setSpacing

public void setSpacing(int spacing)

Returns the spacing between child elements.

getSpacing

public int getSpacing()

Returns the spacing between child elements.

setConstraints

public void setConstraints(IlvAttachable element,
                           Object constraints)

The supplied IlvAttachable is added at the end of the stack.

Specified by:

setConstraints in interface IlvLayoutManager

Parameters:

element - the IlvAttachable to be added

constraints - where/how the component is added to the layout.

removeConstraints

public void removeConstraints(IlvAttachable element)

Removes the specified IlvAttachable from the layout.

Specified by:

removeConstraints in interface IlvLayoutManager

Parameters:

element - the IlvAttachable>/code> object to be removed.

Lays out the specified IlvAttachablecontainer.

Specified by:

layoutGroup in interface IlvLayoutManager

Parameters:

target - the container to be laid out

attach

public void attach(IlvAttachable target)

Sets the constraints defined by the supplied IlvAttachable

Specified by:

attach in interface IlvLayoutManager
