We’ve covered the basic layout managers; with them, you should be able to create just about any user interface you like.
But that’s not all, folks.
If you want to experiment with layout managers that are undocumented,
may change, and may not be available locally on all platforms, look
in the sun.awt classes. You’ll find a
HorizBagLayout, a
VerticalBagLayout, an
OrientableFlowLayout, and a
VariableGridLayout. Furthermore,
public domain layout managers of all
descriptions are on the Net; keep your eye on Gamelan (http://www.gamelan.com) and the other Java
archives if you need something exotic.
