public static class SpringLayout.Constraints extends Object
AConstraints
object holds the constraints that govern the way a component's size and position change in a container controlled by aSpringLayout
. AConstraints
object is like aRectangle
, in that it hasx
,y
,width
, andheight
properties. In theConstraints
object, however, these properties haveSpring
values instead of integers. In addition, aConstraints
object can be manipulated as four edges -- north, south, east, and west -- using theconstraint
property.The following formulas are always true for a
Constraints
object (here WEST andx
are synonyms, as are and NORTH andy
):EAST = WEST + WIDTH SOUTH = NORTH + HEIGHT HORIZONTAL_CENTER = WEST + WIDTH/2 VERTICAL_CENTER = NORTH + HEIGHT/2 ABSOLUTE_BASELINE = NORTH + RELATIVE_BASELINE*
For example, if you have specified the WIDTH and WEST (X) location the EAST is calculated as WEST + WIDTH. If you instead specified the WIDTH and EAST locations the WEST (X) location is then calculated as EAST - WIDTH.
[RELATIVE_BASELINE is a private constraint that is set automatically when the SpringLayout.Constraints(Component) constuctor is called or when a constraints object is registered with a SpringLayout object.]
Note: In this document, operators represent methods in the
Spring
class. For example, "a + b" is equal toSpring.sum(a, b)
, and "a - b" is equal toSpring.sum(a, Spring.minus(b))
. See the
for further details of spring arithmetic.Spring
API documentationBecause a
Constraints
object's properties -- representing its edges, size, and location -- can all be set independently and yet are interrelated, aConstraints
object can become over-constrained. For example, if theWEST
,WIDTH
andEAST
edges are all set, steps must be taken to ensure that the first of the formulas above holds. To do this, theConstraints
object throws away the least recently set constraint so as to make the formulas hold.- Since:

SpringLayout.Constraints
public SpringLayout.Constraints()
Creates an emptyConstraints
object.
-
SpringLayout.Constraints
public SpringLayout.Constraints(Spring x, Spring y)
Creates aConstraints
object with the specified values for itsx
andy
properties. Theheight
andwidth
springs havenull
values.- Parameters:
x
- the spring controlling the component's x valuey
- the spring controlling the component's y value
-
SpringLayout.Constraints
public SpringLayout.Constraints(Spring x, Spring y, Spring width, Spring height)
Creates aConstraints
object with the specified values for itsx
,y
,width
, andheight
properties. Note: If theSpringLayout
class encountersnull
values in theConstraints
object of a given component, it replaces them with suitable defaults.- Parameters:
x
- the spring value for thex
propertyy
- the spring value for they
propertywidth
- the spring value for thewidth
propertyheight
- the spring value for theheight
property
-
SpringLayout.Constraints
public SpringLayout.Constraints(Component c)
Creates aConstraints
object with suitablex
,y
,width
andheight
springs for component,c
. Thex
andy
springs are constant springs initialised with the component's location at the time this method is called. Thewidth
andheight
springs are special springs, created by theSpring.width()
andSpring.height()
methods, which track the size characteristics of the component when they change.- Parameters:
c
- the component whose characteristics will be reflected by this Constraints object- Throws:
NullPointerException
- ifc
is null.- Since:
- 1.5

public Spring getX()
Returns the value of thex
property.- Returns:
