Class Dock

ej.mwt.Widget

ej.mwt.Container

ej.widget.container.Dock

public class Dock
extends Container

Lays out any number of children by docking each child one by one on a side.

Each child is laid out individually on one of the sides of the remaining space, following the order in which they have been added to the dock. If a widget is set at the center of the dock, it will take the final remaining space.

In a dock, all widgets docked on the left side and on the right side will have the height of the remaining space and will have their optimal width. All widgets docked on the top side and on the bottom side will have the width of the remaining space and will have their optimal height. The center widget will have the size of the remaining space.

Example of dock that contains (added in this order):

1. widget on the left,
2. widget on the top,
3. widget on the right,
4. widget on the bottom,
5. widget on the left,
6. widget on the bottom,
7. widget on the center.
