<P>
FormLayout is a powerful, flexible and precise general purpose
 layout manager. It aligns components vertically and horizontally in
 a dynamic rectangular grid of cells, with each component occupying one or
 more cells.
 A <a href="../../../../../whitepaper.pdf" target="secondary">whitepaper</a>
 about the FormLayout ships with the product documentation and is available
 <a href="http://www.jgoodies.com/articles/forms.pdf">online</a>.<p>

 To use FormLayout you first define the grid by specifying the
 columns and rows. In a second step you add components to the grid. You can
 specify columns and rows via human-readable String descriptions or via
 arrays of <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/layout/ColumnSpec.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.layout"><CODE>ColumnSpec</CODE></A> and <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/layout/RowSpec.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.layout"><CODE>RowSpec</CODE></A> instances.<p>

 Each component managed by a FormLayout is associated with an instance of
 <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/layout/CellConstraints.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.layout"><CODE>CellConstraints</CODE></A>. The constraints object specifies where a component
 should be located on the form's grid and how the component should be
 positioned. In addition to its constraints object the
 <code>FormLayout</code> also considers each component's minimum and
 preferred sizes in order to determine a component's size.<p>

 FormLayout has been designed to work with non-visual builders that help you
 specify the layout and fill the grid. For example, the
 <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/builder/ButtonBarBuilder.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.builder"><CODE>ButtonBarBuilder</CODE></A> assists you in building button
 bars; it creates a standardized FormLayout and provides a minimal API that
 specializes in adding buttons and Actions. Other builders can create
 frequently used panel design, for example a form that consists of rows of
 label-component pairs.<p>

 FormLayout has been prepared to work with different types of sizes as
 defined by the <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/layout/Size.html" title="interface in com.jgoodies.forms.layout"><CODE>Size</CODE></A> interface.<p>

 <strong>Example 1</strong> (Plain FormLayout):<br>
 The following example creates a panel with 3 data columns and 3 data rows;
 the columns and rows are specified before components are added
 to the form.
 <pre>
 FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(
      "right:pref, 6dlu, 50dlu, 4dlu, default",  // columns
      "pref, 3dlu, pref, 3dlu, pref");           // rows

 JPanel panel = new JPanel(layout);
 panel.add(new JLabel("Label1"),   CC.xy  (1, 1));
 panel.add(new JTextField(),       CC.xywh(3, 1, 3, 1));
 panel.add(new JLabel("Label2"),   CC.xy  (1, 3));
 panel.add(new JTextField(),       CC.xy  (3, 3));
 panel.add(new JLabel("Label3"),   CC.xy  (1, 5));
 panel.add(new JTextField(),       CC.xy  (3, 5));
 panel.add(new JButton("/u2026"),  CC.xy  (5, 5));
 return panel;
 </pre><p>

 <strong>Example 2</strong> (Using PanelBuilder):<br>
 This example creates the same panel as above using the
 <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/builder/PanelBuilder.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.builder"><CODE>PanelBuilder</CODE></A> to add components to the form.
 <pre>
 FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(
      "right:pref, 6dlu, 50dlu, 4dlu, default",  // columns
      "pref, 3dlu, pref, 3dlu, pref");           // rows

 PanelBuilder builder = new PanelBuilder(layout);
 builder.addLabel("Label1",         CC.xy  (1, 1));
 builder.add(new JTextField(),      CC.xywh(3, 1, 3, 1));
 builder.addLabel("Label2",         CC.xy  (1, 3));
 builder.add(new JTextField(),      CC.xy  (3, 3));
 builder.addLabel("Label3",         CC.xy  (1, 5));
 builder.add(new JTextField(),      CC.xy  (3, 5));
 builder.add(new JButton("/u2026"), CC.xy  (5, 5));
 return builder.getPanel();
 </pre><p>

 <strong>Example 3</strong> (Using DefaultFormBuilder):<br>
 This example utilizes the
 <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/builder/DefaultFormBuilder.html" title="class in com.jgoodies.forms.builder"><CODE>DefaultFormBuilder</CODE></A> that
 ships with the source distribution.
 <pre>
 FormLayout layout = new FormLayout(
      "right:pref, 6dlu, 50dlu, 4dlu, default"); // 5 columns; add rows later

 DefaultFormBuilder builder = new DefaultFormBuilder(layout);
 builder.append("Label1", new JTextField(), 3);
 builder.append("Label2", new JTextField());
 builder.append("Label3", new JTextField());
 builder.append(new JButton("/u2026"));
 return builder.getPanel();
 </pre>

 Components will be rearranged and column groups will be readjusted.
 Therefore, the column must not contain components and must not be part

 The component shift works as follows: components that were located on

 removed column.<p>

 Column group indices that are greater than the column index will be
 decreased by one.<p>

public void <B>setHonorsVisibility</B>(boolean&nbsp;b)</PRE>
<DL>
<DD>Specifies whether invisible components shall be taken into account by
 this layout for computing the layout size and setting component bounds.
 If set to <code>true</code> invisible components will be ignored by
 the layout. If set to <code>false</code> components will be taken into
 account regardless of their visibility. Visible components are always
 used for sizing and positioning.<p>

 The default value for this setting is <code>true</code>.
 It is useful to set the value to <code>false</code> (in other words
 to ignore the visibility) if you switch the component visibility
 dynamically and want the container to retain the size and
 component positions.<p>

 This container-wide default setting can be overridden per component
 using <A HREF="../../../../com/jgoodies/forms/layout/FormLayout.html#setHonorsVisibility(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Boolean)"><CODE>setHonorsVisibility(Component, Boolean)</CODE></A>.<p>

 Components are taken into account, if<ol>
 <li> they are visible, or
 <li> they have no individual setting and the container-wide settings
