Constructor Detail

### RadialLayout

    public RadialLayout()

  Constructs this layout manager with default properties.

Method Detail

### addLayoutComponent

    public void addLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component comp)

  Not used.

  Parameters:
    `comp` - the component.

### removeLayoutComponent

    public void removeLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component comp)

  Not used.

  Specified by:
    `removeLayoutComponent` in interface `java.awt.LayoutManager`
  Parameters:
    `comp` - the component.

### addLayoutComponent

    public void addLayoutComponent(java.lang.String name,
                                   java.awt.Component comp)

  Not used.

  Specified by:
    `addLayoutComponent` in interface `java.awt.LayoutManager`
  Parameters:
    `name` - the component name.
    `comp` - the component.

### removeLayoutComponent

    public void removeLayoutComponent(java.lang.String name,
                                      java.awt.Component comp)

  Not used.

  Parameters:
    `name` - the component name.
    `comp` - the component.

### preferredLayoutSize

    public java.awt.Dimension preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container parent)

  Returns the preferred size.

  Specified by:
    `preferredLayoutSize` in interface `java.awt.LayoutManager`
  Parameters:
    `parent` - the parent.
  Returns:
    The preferred size.
  See Also:
    `LayoutManager`

### minimumLayoutSize

    public java.awt.Dimension minimumLayoutSize(java.awt.Container parent)

  Returns the minimum size.

  Specified by:
    `minimumLayoutSize` in interface `java.awt.LayoutManager`
  Parameters:
    `parent` - the parent.
  Returns:
    The minimum size.

    `LayoutManager`

### layoutContainer

    public void layoutContainer(java.awt.Container parent)

  This is called when the panel is first displayed, and every time its size changes. Note: You CAN'T assume preferredLayoutSize or minimumLayoutSize will be called -- in the case of applets, at least, they probably won't be.

  Specified by:
    `layoutContainer` in interface `java.awt.LayoutManager`
  Parameters:
    `parent` - the parent.

    `LayoutManager`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Returns the class name.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Returns:
    The class name.

### main

    public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                     throws java.lang.Exception
