Organizing your layout

• Sizers

  • Similar to LayoutManagers in Java.
  • Not as flexible as LayoutContraints, but much simpler, once you get over the hump.
  • Relationships defined by containment within sizers or nested sizers.
  • All items (windows or nested sizers) added to a Sizer are laid out by a specific algorithm determined by the class of sizer.
  • An item’s position within its allotted space is also controllable.
