# Class ScrollPaneLayout

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.ScrollPaneLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `LayoutManager, Serializable, ScrollPaneConstants`

Direct Known Subclasses:
  `ScrollPaneLayout.UIResource`

public class ScrollPaneLayout extends Object implements LayoutManager, ScrollPaneConstants, Serializable
The layout manager used by `JScrollPane`. `JScrollPaneLayout` is responsible for nine components: a viewport, two scrollbars, a row header, a column header, and four "corner" components.

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`.

Since:
  1.2

    This method is invoked after the ScrollPaneLayout is set as the LayoutManager of a `JScrollPane`. It initializes all of the internal fields that are ordinarily set by `addLayoutComponent`. For example:

        ScrollPaneLayout mySPLayout = new ScrollPanelLayout() {
            public void layoutContainer(Container p) {

  - ### preferredLayoutSize

    public Dimension preferredLayoutSize(Container parent)
    The preferred size of a `ScrollPane` is the size of the insets, plus the preferred size of the viewport, plus the preferred size of the visible headers, plus the preferred size of the scrollbars that will appear given the current view and the current scrollbar displayPolicies.

    Note that the rowHeader is calculated as part of the preferred width and the colHeader is calculated as part of the preferred size.

    Specified by:
      `preferredLayoutSize` in interface `LayoutManager`
    Parameters:
      `parent` - the `Container` that will be laid out
    Returns:

    Parameters:
      `parent` - the `Container` that will be laid out

      a `Dimension` object specifying the minimum size
    See Also:
      - `LayoutManager.preferredLayoutSize(Container)`

  - ### layoutContainer

    public void layoutContainer(Container parent)
    Lays out the scrollpane. The positioning of components depends on the following constraints:
    - The row header, if present and visible, gets its preferred width and the viewport's height.
    - The column header, if present and visible, gets its preferred height and the viewport's width.
    - If a vertical scrollbar is needed, i.e. if the viewport's extent height is smaller than its view height or if the `displayPolicy` is ALWAYS, it's treated like the row header with respect to its dimensions and is made visible.
    - If a horizontal scrollbar is needed, it is treated like the column header (see the paragraph above regarding the vertical scrollbar).
    - If the scrollpane has a non-`null` `viewportBorder`, then space is allocated for that.
    - The viewport gets the space available after accounting for the previous constraints.
    - The corner components, if provided, are aligned with the ends of the scrollbars and headers. If there is a vertical scrollbar, the right corners appear; if there is a horizontal scrollbar, the lower corners appear; a row header gets left corners, and a column header gets upper corners.
    Specified by:
      `layoutContainer` in interface `LayoutManager`
    Parameters:
      `parent` - the `Container` to lay out
