Package Summary Overview Summary

### class:JRootPane.RootLayout [NONE]
- All Implemented Interfaces: LayoutManager, LayoutManager2, Serializable Enclosing class: JRootPane
      protected class JRootPane.RootLayout
      extends Object
      implements LayoutManager2, Serializable
A custom layout manager that is responsible for the layout of layeredPane, glassPane, and menuBar. Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

      public Dimension minimumLayoutSize(Container parent)
Returns the minimum amount of space the layout needs. Specified by: `minimumLayoutSize` in interface `LayoutManager` Parameters: `parent` - the Container for which this layout manager is being used Returns: a Dimension object containing the layout's minimum size See Also: `LayoutManager.preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container)`

### method:maximumLayoutSize(java.awt.Container) [NONE]
- #### maximumLayoutSize
      public Dimension maximumLayoutSize(Container target)
Returns the maximum amount of space the layout can use. Specified by: `maximumLayoutSize` in interface `LayoutManager2` Parameters: `target` - the Container for which this layout manager is being used Returns: a Dimension object containing the layout's maximum size See Also: `Component.getMaximumSize()`, `LayoutManager`

### method:layoutContainer(java.awt.Container) [NONE]
- #### layoutContainer
      public void layoutContainer(Container parent)
Instructs the layout manager to perform the layout for the specified container. Specified by: `layoutContainer` in interface `LayoutManager` Parameters: `parent` - the Container for which this layout manager is being used

### method:addLayoutComponent(java.lang.String, java.awt.Component) [NONE]
- #### addLayoutComponent
      public void addLayoutComponent(String name,
                                     Component comp)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager` If the layout manager uses a per-component string, adds the component `comp` to the layout, associating it with the string specified by `name`. Specified by: `addLayoutComponent` in interface `LayoutManager` Parameters: `name` - the string to be associated with the component `comp` - the component to be added

### method:removeLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component) [NONE]
- #### removeLayoutComponent
      public void removeLayoutComponent(Component comp)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager` Removes the specified component from the layout. Specified by: `removeLayoutComponent` in interface `LayoutManager` Parameters: `comp` - the component to be removed

### method:addLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object) [NONE]
- #### addLayoutComponent
      public void addLayoutComponent(Component comp,
                                     Object constraints)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager2` Adds the specified component to the layout, using the specified constraint object. Specified by: `addLayoutComponent` in interface `LayoutManager2` Parameters: `comp` - the component to be added `constraints` - where/how the component is added to the layout.

### method:getLayoutAlignmentX(java.awt.Container) [NONE]
- #### getLayoutAlignmentX
      public float getLayoutAlignmentX(Container target)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager2` Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc. Specified by: `getLayoutAlignmentX` in interface `LayoutManager2` Parameters: `target` - the target container Returns: the x-axis alignment preference

### method:getLayoutAlignmentY(java.awt.Container) [NONE]
- #### getLayoutAlignmentY
      public float getLayoutAlignmentY(Container target)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager2` Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc. Specified by: `getLayoutAlignmentY` in interface `LayoutManager2` Parameters: `target` - the target container Returns: the y-axis alignment preference

### method:invalidateLayout(java.awt.Container) [NONE]
- #### invalidateLayout
      public void invalidateLayout(Container target)
Description copied from interface: `LayoutManager2` Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded. Specified by: `invalidateLayout` in interface `LayoutManager2` Parameters: `target` - the target container
