Layout manager

That layout manager is responsible for positioning components, regardless of the platform or screen size. To find out how much space a component needs, the layout manager calls the component's getMinimumSize(), getPreferredSize(), and getMaximumSize() methods. The AWT layout managers are FlowLayout, BorderLayout, GridLayout, CardLayout, and GridBagLayout. The Swing layouts are BoxLayout, OverlayLayout, ScrollPaneLayout, ViewportLayout, and SpringLayout.
