Class NewspaperLayout

java.lang.Object
  com.partnersoft.gui.NewspaperLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.LayoutManager, java.awt.LayoutManager2

public class NewspaperLayout
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.awt.LayoutManager2

A layout manager that lays its components top to bottom, then right to left in columns, much like articles in a newspaper.

This layout is specifically designed to work well with JScrollPane; it adapts to larger widths by adding columns and to narrower widths by removing them, eliminating the necessity for the oft-annoying horizontal scroll bar.
