A
CardLayout
object is a layout manager for a
container. It treats each component in the container as a card.
Only one card is visible at a time, and the container acts as
a stack of cards. The first component added to a
CardLayout
object is the visible component when the
container is first displayed.
The ordering of cards is determined by the container's own internal
ordering of its component objects. CardLayout
defines a set of methods that allow an application to flip
through these cards sequentially, or to show a specified card.
The addLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object)
method can be used to associate a string identifier with a given card
for fast random access.

CardLayout
public CardLayout(int hgap, int vgap) Creates a new card layout with the specified horizontal and vertical gaps. The horizontal gaps are placed at the left and right edges. The vertical gaps are placed at the top and bottom edges.- Parameters:
hgap
- the horizontal gap.vgap
- the vertical gap.

Method Details
-
getHgap
public int getHgap()Gets the horizontal gap between components.- Returns:
- the horizontal gap between components.
- Since:
- 1.1
- See Also:
-
setHgap
public void setHgap(int hgap) Sets the horizontal gap between components.- Parameters:
hgap
- the horizontal gap between components.- Since:
- 1.1
- See Also:
-
getVgap
public int getVgap()Gets the vertical gap between components.- Returns:
- the vertical gap between components.
- See Also:
-
setVgap
public void setVgap(int vgap) Sets the vertical gap between components.- Parameters:
vgap
- the vertical gap between components.- Since:

addLayoutComponent
Adds the specified component to this card layout's internal table of names. The object specified byconstraints
must be a string. The card layout stores this string as a key-value pair that can be used for random access to a particular card. By calling theshow
method, an application can display the component with the specified name.- Specified by:
addLayoutComponent
in interfaceLayoutManager2
- Parameters:
comp
- the component to be added.constraints
- a tag that identifies a particular card in the layout.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the constraint is not a string.- See Also:
-
addLayoutComponent
Deprecated.replaced byaddLayoutComponent(Component, Object)
.Description copied from interface:LayoutManager
If the layout manager uses a per-component string, adds the componentcomp
to the layout, associating it with the string specified byname
.- Specified by:
addLayoutComponent
in interfaceLayoutManager
- Parameters:
name
- the string to be associated with the componentcomp
- the component to be added
-
removeLayoutComponent
Removes the specified component from the layout. If the card was visible on top, the next card underneath it is shown.- Specified by:
removeLayoutComponent
in interfaceLayoutManager
- Parameters:
comp
- the component to be removed.- See Also:
-
preferredLayoutSize
Determines the preferred size of the container argument using this card layout.- Specified by:
preferredLayoutSize
in interfaceLayoutManager
- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- Returns:
- the preferred dimensions to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container
- See Also:
-
minimumLayoutSize
Calculates the minimum size for the specified panel.- Specified by:
minimumLayoutSize
in interfaceLayoutManager
- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- Returns:
- the minimum dimensions required to lay out the subcomponents of the specified container
- See Also:
-
maximumLayoutSize
Returns the maximum dimensions for this layout given the components in the specified target container.- Specified by:
maximumLayoutSize
in interfaceLayoutManager2
- Parameters:
target
- the component which needs to be laid out- Returns:
- the maximum size of the container
- See Also:
-
getLayoutAlignmentX
Returns the alignment along the x axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.- Specified by:
getLayoutAlignmentX
in interfaceLayoutManager2
- Parameters:
parent
- the target container- Returns:
- the x-axis alignment preference
-
getLayoutAlignmentY
Returns the alignment along the y axis. This specifies how the component would like to be aligned relative to other components. The value should be a number between 0 and 1 where 0 represents alignment along the origin, 1 is aligned the furthest away from the origin, 0.5 is centered, etc.- Specified by:
getLayoutAlignmentY
in interfaceLayoutManager2
- Parameters:
parent
- the target container- Returns:
- the y-axis alignment preference
-
invalidateLayout
Invalidates the layout, indicating that if the layout manager has cached information it should be discarded.- Specified by:
invalidateLayout
in interfaceLayoutManager2
- Parameters:
target
- the target container
-
layoutContainer
Lays out the specified container using this card layout.Each component in the
parent
container is reshaped to be the size of the container, minus space for surrounding insets, horizontal gaps, and vertical gaps.- Specified by:
layoutContainer
in interfaceLayoutManager
- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- See Also:
-
first
Flips to the first card of the container.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- See Also:
-
next
Flips to the next card of the specified container. If the currently visible card is the last one, this method flips to the first card in the layout.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- See Also:
-
previous
Flips to the previous card of the specified container. If the currently visible card is the first one, this method flips to the last card in the layout.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- See Also:
-
last
Flips to the last card of the container.- Parameters:
parent
- the parent container in which to do the layout- See Also:
-
show
Flips to the component that was added to this layout with the specifiedname
, usingaddLayoutComponent
. If no such component exists, then nothing happens.- Parameters:

- the parent container in which to do the layoutname
- the component name- See Also:
