  • Method Details

    • getLayoutConstraints

      public Object getLayoutConstraints()
      Returns layout constraints either as a String or LC depending what was sent in to the constructor or set with setLayoutConstraints(Object).
      Returns:

    • setLayoutConstraints

      public void setLayoutConstraints(Object constr)
      Sets the layout constraints for the layout manager instance as a String.

      See the class JavaDocs for information on how this string is formatted.

      Parameters:
      constr - The layout constraints as a String pr LC representation. null is converted to "" for storage.
      Throws:
      RuntimeException - if the constraint was not valid.
    • getColumnConstraints

      public Object getColumnConstraints()
      Returns the column layout constraints either as a String or AC.
      Returns:
      The column constraints either as a String or AC depending what was sent in to the constructor or set with setColumnConstraints(Object). Never null.
    • setColumnConstraints

      public void setColumnConstraints(Object constr)
      Sets the column layout constraints for the layout manager instance as a String.
