package javax.swing;


import java.awt.*;
import java.io.Serializable;

For the convenience of layout managers, calculates information about the size and position of components. All size and position calculation methods are class methods that take arrays of SizeRequirements as arguments. The SizeRequirements class supports two types of layout:
tiled
The components are placed end-to-end, starting either at coordinate 0 (the leftmost or topmost position) or at the coordinate representing the end of the allocated span (the rightmost or bottommost position).
aligned
The components are aligned as specified by each component's X or Y alignment value.

Each SizeRequirements object contains information about either the width (and X alignment) or height (and Y alignment) of a single component or a group of components:

minimum
The smallest reasonable width/height of the component or component group, in pixels.
preferred
The natural width/height of the component or component group, in pixels.
maximum
The largest reasonable width/height of the component or component group, in pixels.
alignment
The X/Y alignment of the component or component group.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Creates a bunch of offset/span pairs specifying how to lay out a set of components with the specified alignments.

You can get the total size requirement by invoking getAlignedSizeRequirements. Normal alignment will be done with an alignment value of 0.0f representing the left/top edge of a component.
