Flow

The FlowLayout manager treats components the way a word processor treats paragraphs.

As component are added, they are placed to the right and as they fill up the drawing area, they are added on the next "line".

FlowLayout can also handle simple alignment such as FlowLayout.LEFT, FlowLayout.RIGHT, or FlowLayout.CENTER (the default).

The FlowLayout class has 3 constructors:

FlowLayout() - default alignment of CENTER and default horizontal and vertical gap of 8.

FlowLayout(int align) - alignment of align and default horizontal and vertical gap of 8.

FlowLayout(int align, int hgap, int vgap) - alignment of align and horizontal gap of hgap and vertical gap of vgap.

Here is an example using FlowLayout: FlowGUI.
