Package com.jgoodies.forms.layout
Interface Size
- All Known Implementing Classes:
BoundedSize
,ConstantSize
,PrototypeSize
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 whitepaper that is part of the product documentation and that is
available online too, see
http://www.jgoodies.com/articles/forms.pdf.

Method Details
-
maximumSize
int maximumSize(Container container, List components, FormLayout.Measure minMeasure, FormLayout.Measure prefMeasure, FormLayout.Measure defaultMeasure) Computes and returns this Size's maximum pixel 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 containercomponents
- the list of components used to compute the sizeminMeasure
- the measure that determines the minimum sizesprefMeasure
- the measure that determines the preferred sizesdefaultMeasure
- the measure that determines the default sizes- Returns:
- the maximum size in pixels for the given list of components
-
compressible
boolean compressible()Describes if this Size can be compressed, if container space gets scarce. Used by the FormLayout size computations in#compressedSizes
to check whether a column or row can be compressed or not.The ComponentSize default is compressible, as well as BoundedSizes that are based on the default size.
- Returns:
true
for compressible Sizes- Since:
- 1.1
-
encode
String encode()Returns a String respresentation of this Size object that can be parsed by the Forms parser.Implementors should return a non-verbose string.
- Returns:
- a parseable String representation of this object.
- Since:
- 1.2
