Summary

public static final class  StrutLayout.Strut
     extends java.lang.Object
{
          // Fields 6
     public Component child;
     public int direction;
     public int fromConnector;
     public int length;
     public Component parent;

     public Strut(Component, Component, int, int, int, int);

}

Represents a strut going from a parent component to a child (see StrutLayout.StrutConstraint for a description of struts). This class is used in conjunction with addStruts () as an alternative to a sequence of addLayoutComponent (component, new StrutConstraint (...)) statements.

Example:

  StrutLayout.Strut struts [] =
  {new StrutLayout.Strut (nameLabel, nameField,
                          StrutLayout.MID_RIGHT, StrutLayout.MID_LEFT,
                          StrutLayout.EAST),
   new StrutLayout.Strut (ageField, nameField,
                          StrutLayout.BOTTOM_LEFT, StrutLayout.TOP_LEFT,
                          StrutLayout.SOUTH)
  };

  Panel panel = new Panel ();
  StrutLayout strutLayout = new StrutLayout ();

  panel.setLayout (strutLayout);
  panel.add (rootComponent);
  StrutLayout.addStruts (panel, struts);

   public Strut(Component parent, 
                Component child, 
                int fromConnector, 
                int toConnector, 
                int direction) 

Creates a strut going from a parent component to a child component with a default length

Parameter	Description
parent	The parent component.
child	The child component.
fromConnector	The connector on the parent to attach the strut to (eg. StrutLayout.TOP_RIGHT).
toConnector	The connector on the child to attach the strut to (eg. StrutLayout.TOP_LEFT).
direction	The direction of the strut. One of StrutLayout.NORTH, StrutLayout.SOUTH, StrutLayout.EAST or StrutLayout.WEST.
