What are common layout managers used in Java?
There are several common layout managers used in Java:
- BorderLayout: divides a container into five areas – east, west, south, north, and center, where components can be placed.
- FlowLayout: Components are arranged in the order they are added, and will automatically wrap to the next line if they cannot fit on the current one.
- GridLayout: Divides the container into rows and columns, with components arranged sequentially from left to right and top to bottom according to the grid.
- CardLayout: Dividing a container into layers, displaying only one layer at a time, and allowing for switching between the layers.
- GridBagLayout is an extension of GridLayout that allows for customizing the size and position of each component.
- BoxLayout: a layout manager that places components in a horizontal or vertical container, allowing for filling or stretching as needed.
- GroupLayout: A layout manager that visually sets the layout of components, suitable for complex interface design.
- SpringLayout: Utilizes the spring constraint model to layout components, allowing for a flexible layout.
- GridBagLayout is an extension of GridLayout that allows for customizing the size and position of each component.
- CardLayout: Organize the container into layers, displaying only one layer at a time, allowing for easy switching between layers.
Here are common layout managers used in Java. Developers can choose the appropriate layout manager based on their specific needs for designing interfaces.
