FlowLayout

FlowLayout places component in rows from left to right. Components towards the end of row are written on next row, if there is not enough space in the current row. The FlowLayout honors the specified size of a component. The size of a component never changes regardless of size of container.

 constructors of FlowLayout


Typically the constructor is called in the call to the container's setLayout method (see example code). The parameterless FlowLayout() constructor is probably most common, but there are some good places to use the alignment.

  • FlowLayout();
  • FlowLayout(int alignment);
  • FlowLayout(int alignment, int hor_gap, int ver_gap);

Alignment can take values of constants - LEFT, CENTER and RIGHT. The default alignment for the components in a row is center. Default horizontal and vertical gaps are 5 pixels.


  • FlowLayout.LEFT
  • FlowLayout.CENTER
  • FlowLayout.RIGHT
