<h1>:: Reference :: Component Sizes ::</h1>
The component sizes <i>min, pref, default</i> are used
to set column and row sizes that reflect the minimum
or preferred sizes of the contained components.
<p>
If you specify a column size as <i>min</i> sized, FormLayout will
ask all components in that column for their minimum width
and chooses the largest width as the column width.
The same applies to rows and the <i>pref</i> component size.
<p>
The <i>default</i> size aims to give a column the width
of the largest preferred width. If container space is scarce,
it shrinks the column down to the largest minimum width.

<h2>String Representations</h2>
I recommend to specify column and row sizes in
the FormLayout constructor using string representations.
These strings will be accepted by the <tt>FormLayout</tt>,
<tt>ColumnSpec</tt>, <tt>RowSpec</tt> and <tt>Borders</tt> classes.
<pre>
componentSize ::= MIN | PREF | DEFAULT | M | P | D
</pre>
<h2>Examples</h2><pre>
new ColumnSpec("min");
new ColumnSpec("m");
new ColumnSpec("default");
new ColumnSpec("d");
new ColumnSpec("pref");
new ColumnSpec("p");
new RowSpec("min");
new RowSpec("m");
new FormLayout("left:pref, 4dlu, fill:default",
"p, 3dlu, p, 3dlu, p");
</pre>
