Class RowSpec

java.lang.Object
  com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormSpec
      com.jgoodies.forms.layout.RowSpec

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class RowSpec
extends FormSpec

Specifies rows in FormLayout by their default orientation, start size and resizing behavior.

Examples:
The following examples specify a centered row with a size of 14 dlu that won't grow.

 new RowSpec(Sizes.dluX(14));
 new RowSpec(RowSpec.CENTER, Sizes.dluX(14), 0.0);
 new RowSpec(rowSpec.CENTER, Sizes.dluX(14), RowSpec.NO_GROW);
 RowSpec.parse("14dlu");
 RowSpec.parse("14dlu:0");
 RowSpec.parse("center:14dlu:0");
 

The FormSpecs provides predefined frequently used RowSpec instances.

Field Detail

TOP

public static final FormSpec.DefaultAlignment TOP

By default put the components in the top.

CENTER

public static final FormSpec.DefaultAlignment CENTER

By default put the components in the center.

BOTTOM

public static final FormSpec.DefaultAlignment BOTTOM

By default put the components in the bottom.

FILL

public static final FormSpec.DefaultAlignment FILL

By default fill the component into the row.

Constructor Detail

RowSpec

public RowSpec(FormSpec.DefaultAlignment defaultAlignment,
               Size size,
               double resizeWeight)

Constructs a RowSpec from the given default orientation, size, and resize weight.

The resize weight must be a non-negative double; you can use NO_FILL as a convenience value for no resize.

Parameters:

defaultAlignment - the row's default alignment

size - constant size, component size, or bounded size

resizeWeight - the row's non-negative resize weight

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the size is invalid or the resize weight is negative

RowSpec

public RowSpec(Size size)

Constructs a RowSpec for the given size using the default alignment, and no resizing.

Parameters:

size - constant size, component size, or bounded size

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the size is invalid

Method Detail

createGap

public static RowSpec createGap(ConstantSize gapHeight)

Creates and returns a RowSpec that represents a gap with the specified ConstantSize.

Parameters:

gapHeight - specifies the gap height

Returns:

a RowSpec that describes a vertical gap with the given height

Throws:

NullPointerException - if gapHeight is null

Since:

1.2

decode

public static RowSpec decode(String encodedRowSpec)

Parses the encoded row specification and returns a RowSpec object that represents the string. Variables are expanded using the default LayoutMap.

Parameters:

encodedRowSpec - the encoded row specification

Returns:

a RowSpec instance for the given specification

Throws:

NullPointerException - if encodedRowSpec is null

Since:

1.2

decode(String, LayoutMap), LayoutMap.getRoot()

decode

public static RowSpec decode(String encodedRowSpec,
                             LayoutMap layoutMap)

Parses the encoded row specifications and returns a RowSpec object that represents the string. Variables are expanded using the given LayoutMap.

Parameters:

encodedRowSpec - the encoded column specification

layoutMap - expands layout row variables

Returns:

a RowSpec instance for the given specification

Throws:

NullPointerException - if encodedRowSpec or layoutMap is null

Since:

1.2

See Also:

decodeSpecs(String, LayoutMap)

decodeSpecs

public static RowSpec[] decodeSpecs(String encodedRowSpecs)

Parses and splits encoded row specifications using the default LayoutMap and returns an array of RowSpec objects.

Parameters:

encodedRowSpecs - comma separated encoded row specifications

Returns:

an array of decoded row specifications

Throws:

NullPointerException - if encodedRowSpecs is null

decodeSpecs

public static RowSpec[] decodeSpecs(String encodedRowSpecs,
                                    LayoutMap layoutMap)

Parses and splits encoded row specifications using the given LayoutMap and returns an array of RowSpec objects.

Parameters:

encodedRowSpecs - comma separated encoded row specifications

layoutMap - expands layout row variables

Returns:

an array of decoded row specifications

Throws:

NullPointerException - encodedRowSpecs or layoutMap is null

Since:

1.2

isHorizontal

protected boolean isHorizontal()

Returns if this is a horizontal specification (vs. vertical). Used to distinct between horizontal and vertical dialog units, which have different conversion factors.

Returns:

always false (for vertical)
