id - The id or null. May consist of a groupID and an componentID which are separated by a dot: ".". E.g. "grp1.id1". The dot should never be first or last if present.

getPadding

public UnitValue[] getPadding()

Returns the absolute resizing in the last stage of the layout cycle. May be null and elements may be null.

getPushX

public Float getPushX()

"pushx" indicates that the column that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other column has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the column's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.

If multiple components in a column has push weights set the largest one will be used for the column.

Returns:

The current push value. Default is null.

setPushX

public void setPushX(Float weight)

"pushx" indicates that the column that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other column has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the column's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.

If multiple components in a column has push weights set the largest one will be used for the column.

Parameters:

weight - The new push value. Default is null.

getPushY

public Float getPushY()

"pushx" indicates that the row that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other row has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the row's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.

If multiple components in a row has push weights set the largest one will be used for the row.

Returns:

The current push value. Default is null.

setPushY

public void setPushY(Float weight)

"pushx" indicates that the row that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other row has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the row's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.

If multiple components in a row has push weights set the largest one will be used for the row.

Parameters:

weight - The new push value. Default is null.

getSplit

public int getSplit()

Returns in how many parts the current cell (that this constraint's component will be in) should be split in. If for instance it is split in two, the next componet will also share the same cell. Note that the cell can also span a number of cells, which means that you can for instance span three cells and split that big cell for two components. Split can be set to a very high value to make all components in the same row/column share the same cell (e.g. LayoutUtil.INF).

Note that only the first component will be checked for this property.

For a more thorough explanation of what this constraint does see the white paper or cheat Sheet at www.migcomponents.com.

Returns:

The current value.

setSplit

public void setSplit(int parts)

Sets in how many parts the current cell (that this constraint's component will be in) should be split in. If for instance it is split in two, the next componet will also share the same cell. Note that the cell can also span a number of cells, which means that you can for instance span three cells and split that big cell for two components. Split can be set to a very high value to make all components in the same row/column share the same cell (e.g. LayoutUtil.INF).

Note that only the first component will be checked for this property.

Parameters:

parts - The number of parts (i.e. component slots) the cell should be divided into.

getTag

public String getTag()

Tags the component with metadata. Currently only used to tag buttons with for instance "cancel" or "ok" to make them show up in the correct order depending on platform. See PlatformDefaults.setButtonOrder(String) for information.

Returns:

The current value. May be null.

setTag

public void setTag(String tag)

Optinal tag that gives more context to this constraint's component. It is for instance used to tag buttons in a button bar with the button type such as "ok", "help" or "cancel".

Parameters:

tag - The new tag. May be null.

getWrapGapSize

Set the wrap size and turns wrap on if != null.

s - The custom gap size. NOTE! null will not turn on or off wrap, it will only set the wrap gap size to "default". A non-null value will turn on wrap though.

Since:

2.4.2

See Also:

• isWrap()
• setWrap(boolean)

isNewline

public boolean isNewline()

Returns if the flow should wrap to the next line/column before the component that this constraint belongs to.

The current value.

setNewline

public void setNewline(boolean b)

b - true means wrap before.

getNewlineGapSize

public BoundSize getNewlineGapSize()

Returns the newline size if it is a custom size. If newline was set to true with setNewline(boolean) then this method will return null since that means that the gap size should be the default one as defined in the rows spec.

• isNewline()
• setNewline(boolean)

setNewlineGapSize

public void setNewlineGapSize(BoundSize s)

Set the newline size and turns newline on if != null.
