Creates a new card layout.

Creates a new card layout with the specified horizontal and vertical gaps. The horizontal gaps are placed and the left and right edge. The vertical gaps are placed at the top and bottom edge.

Parameters:

hgap - the horizontal gap

vgap - the vertical gap

Adds the specified component to the card layout using the indicated name tag. The show method (II-§1.4.12) can be used to display the component with the specified tag.

Parameters:

name - a tag understood by the layout manager

comp - the component to be added

Flips to the first card of the container.

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Flips to the last card of the container.

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Lays out the container argument using this card layout.

Each component in the target container is reshaped to be the size of the container minus space for surrounding insets, horizontal gaps, and vertical gaps.

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a container calls its layout method (II-§1.11.11).

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Determines the minimum size of the container argument using this card layout.

The minimum width of a card layout is the largest minimum width of the cards in the container, plus twice the horizontal gap, plus the left and right insets.

The minimum height of a card layout is the largest minimum height of the cards in the container, plus twice the vertical gap, plus the top and bottom insets.

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a container calls its layout method (II-§1.11.11).

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Returns:

the minimum dimensions needed to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.

See Also:

preferredLayoutSize (II-§1.4.9).

Flips to the next card of the specified container. If the currently visible card is the last one, this method flips to the first card in the layout.

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout.

Determines the preferred size of the container argument using this card layout.

The preferred width of a card layout is the largest preferred width of the cards in the container, plus twice the horizontal gap, plus the left and right insets.

The preferred height of a card layout is the largest preferred height of the cards in the container, plus twice the vertical gap, plus the top and bottom insets.

Most applications do not call this method directly. This method is called when a container calls its preferredSize method (II-§1.11.17).

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Returns:

the preferred dimensions to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container.

See Also:

minimumLayoutSize (II-§1.4.7).

Flips to the previous card of the specified container. If the currently visible card is the first one, this method flips to the last card in the layout.

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

Removes the specified component from the layout.

This method is called when a container calls its remove (II-§1.11.19) or removeAll (II-§1.11.20) methods. Most applications do not call this method directly.

Parameters:

comp - the component to be removed

Flips to the component that was added to this layout (II-§1.4.3) with the specified name tag. If no such component exists, then nothing happens.

Parameters:

target - the container in which to do the layout

name - a tag

Returns:

a String representation of this card layout.

Overrides:

toString in class Object (I-§1.12.9).
