public class GridLayout
extends AbstractLayout
implements Layout.AlignmentHandler, Layout.SpacingHandler, Layout.MarginHandler, LayoutEvents.LayoutClickNotifier, LegacyComponent

A layout where the components are laid out on a grid using cell coordinates.

The GridLayout also maintains a cursor for adding components in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order.

Each component in a GridLayout uses a defined area (column1,row1,column2,row2) from the grid. The components may not overlap with the existing components - if you try to do so you will get an GridLayout.OverlapsException. Adding a component with cursor automatically extends the grid by increasing the grid height.

The grid coordinates, which are specified by a row and column index, always start from 0 for the topmost row and the leftmost column.

Since:

3.0

                         GridLayout.OutOfBoundsException

Adds a component to the grid in the specified area. The area is defined by specifying the upper left corner (column1, row1) and the lower right corner (column2, row2) of the area. The coordinates are zero-based.

If the area overlaps with any of the existing components already present in the grid, the operation will fail and an GridLayout.OverlapsException is thrown.

row1 - the row of the upper left corner of the area c is supposed to occupy. The topmost row has index 0.

column2 - the column of the lower right corner of the area c is supposed to occupy.

row2 - the row of the lower right corner of the area c is supposed to occupy.

Throws:

GridLayout.OverlapsException - if the new component overlaps with any of the components already in the grid.

GridLayout.OutOfBoundsException - if the cells are outside the grid area.

addComponent

public void addComponent(Component component,
                         int column,
                         int row)

Parameters:

component - the component to be added, not null.

column - the column index, starting from 0.

row - the row index, starting from 0.

The cursor position points the position for the next component that is added without specifying its coordinates (grid cell). When the cursor position is occupied, the next component will be added to the first free position after the cursor.

Returns:

the grid row the Cursor is on.

setCursorY

This method replaces component with another one is such way that the new component overtakes the position of the old component. If the old component is not in the container, the new component is added to the container. If the both component are already in the container, their positions are swapped. Component attach and detach events should be taken care as with add and remove.

Specified by:

replaceComponent in interface ComponentContainer

Parameters:

oldComponent - the old component that will be replaced.

newComponent - the new component to be replaced.

                                  Alignment alignment)

childComponent - the component to align within it's layout cell.

alignment - the Alignment value to be set

setSpacing

public void setSpacing(boolean spacing)

Description copied from interface: Layout.SpacingHandler

Enable spacing between child components within this layout.

NOTE: This will only affect the space between components, not the space around all the components in the layout (i.e. do not confuse this with the cellspacing attribute of a HTML Table). Use #setMargin(boolean) to add space around the layout.

See the reference manual for more information about CSS rules for defining the amount of spacing to use.

Specified by:

setSpacing in interface Layout.SpacingHandler

Parameters:

spacing - true if spacing should be turned on, false if it should be turned off

public boolean isSpacing()

Specified by:

isSpacing in interface Layout.SpacingHandler

Returns:

true if spacing between child components within this layout is enabled, false otherwise

insertRow

public void insertRow(int row)

Inserts an empty row at the specified position in the grid.

Parameters:

row - Index of the row before which the new row will be inserted. The leftmost row has index 0.

removeRow

public void removeRow(int row)

Removes a row and all the components in the row.

Components which span over several rows are removed if the selected row is on the first row of such a component.

If the last row is removed then all remaining components will be removed and the grid will be reduced to one row. The cursor will be moved to the upper left cell of the grid.

Parameters:

row - Index of the row to remove. The leftmost row has index 0.

public void setColumnExpandRatio(int columnIndex,
                                 float ratio)

Sets the expand ratio of given column.

The expand ratio defines how excess space is distributed among columns. Excess space means space that is left over from components that are not sized relatively. By default, the excess space is distributed evenly.

Note that the component width of the GridLayout must be defined (fixed or relative, as opposed to undefined) for this method to have any effect.

Parameters:

columnIndex -

ratio -

See Also:

#setWidth(float, int)

getColumnExpandRatio

public float getColumnExpandRatio(int columnIndex)

Returns the expand ratio of given column

Parameters:

columnIndex -

Returns:

the expand ratio, 0.0f by default

See Also:

setRowExpandRatio

public void setRowExpandRatio(int rowIndex,
                              float ratio)

Sets the expand ratio of given row.

Expand ratio defines how excess space is distributed among rows. Excess space means the space left over from components that are not sized relatively. By default, the excess space is distributed evenly.

Note, that height needs to be defined (fixed or relative, as opposed to undefined height) for this method to have any effect.

Parameters:

rowIndex - The row index, starting from 0 for the topmost row.

ratio -

See Also:

#setHeight(float, int)

getRowExpandRatio

public float getRowExpandRatio(int rowIndex)

Returns the expand ratio of given row.

Returns:

an Area object that contains information how component is laid in the grid

addLayoutClickListener

public void addLayoutClickListener(LayoutEvents.LayoutClickListener listener)
