Class ConstantSize

java.lang.Object

com.jgoodies.forms.layout.ConstantSize

All Implemented Interfaces:

Size, java.io.Serializable

public final class ConstantSize
extends java.lang.Object
implements Size, java.io.Serializable

An implementation of the Size interface that represents constant sizes described by a value and unit, for example: 10 pixel, 15 point or 4 dialog units. You can get instances of ConstantSize using the factory methods and constants in the Sizes class. Logical constant sizes that vary with the current layout style are delivered by the LayoutStyle class.

This class supports different size units:

Size units

Unit	Abbreviation	Size
Millimeter	mm	0.1 cm
Centimeter	cm	10.0 mm
Inch	in	25.4 mm
DTP Point	pt	1/72 in
Pixel	px	1/(resolution in dpi) in
Dialog Unit	dlu	honors l&f, resolution, and dialog font size

Examples:

 Sizes.ZERO;
 Sizes.DLUX9;
 Sizes.dluX(42);
 Sizes.pixel(99);

Method Detail

getPixelSize

public int getPixelSize(java.awt.Component component)

Converts the size if necessary and returns the value in pixels.

Parameters:

component - the associated component

Returns:

the size in pixels

maximumSize

public int maximumSize(java.awt.Container container,
                       java.util.List components,
                       com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure minMeasure,
                       com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure prefMeasure,
                       com.jgoodies.forms.layout.FormLayout.Measure defaultMeasure)

Returns this size as pixel size. Neither requires the component list nor the specified measures.

Invoked by FormSpec to determine the size of a column or row.

Specified by:

maximumSize in interface Size

Parameters:

container - the layout container

components - the list of components used to compute the size

minMeasure - the measure that determines the minimum sizes

prefMeasure - the measure that determines the preferred sizes

defaultMeasure - the measure that determines the default sizes

Returns:

the computed maximum size in pixel

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

Indicates whether some other ConstantSize is "equal to" this one.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Parameters:

o - the Object with which to compare

Returns:

true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise.

Object.hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hashtables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Hashtable

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of this size object. Note: The string representation may change at any time. It is strongly recommended to not use this string for parsing purposes.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

a string representation of the constant size
