/** This class implements a combination of the GridBag and Border layouts. The
* container is subdivided into rows and columns (basically a grid). Each cell
* can be empty or can contain a component and a component can occupy one or more
* cells. If a component is smaller than its cell, it can be aligned both horizontally
* and vertically. The width of a column is the width of its largest component. The
* height of a row is the height of its tallest component. Furthermore, a row or a
* column can be expandable, that is its width/height changes depending on the container's
* size.<BR><BR>
* <B>General design issues:</B><BR>
* First, decide the grid size. Consider that some components (like panels) usually
* spread over more cells so it is a good idea to make the grid a little bigger.<BR><BR>
* Second, decide which row/column expand (this is done by the setColProp/setRowProp
* methods).<BR><BR>
* Third, add components to container (layout) giving proper constraints.<BR><BR>
* <B>Example:</B><BR><PRE>
* FlexLayout flexL = new FlexLayout(2, 3, 4, 4); //--- (1)
* flexL.setColProp(1, FlexLayout.EXPAND); //--- (2)
* flexL.setRowProp(2, FlexLayout.EXPAND); //--- (3)
* setLayout(flexL); //--- (4)
*
* add("0,0", new Label("Name")); //--- (5)
* add("0,1", new Label("Surname")); //--- (6)
* add("1,0,x", textField); //--- (7)
* add("1,1,x", textField); //--- (8)
* add("0,2,x,x,2", panel); //--- (9)
* </PRE><BR>
* <I>Description:</I><BR>
* line 1: creates a FlexLayout of 2 columns and 3 rows. The two 4 represent the gap
* between each column and each row. To modify this gap use setXgap and setYgap.<BR>
* line 2 & 3: column 1 and row 2 are set to expandable (the default is USEPREFERRED)
* remember that row and column id starts from index 0.<BR>
* line 4: the layout is added to the container.<BR>
* line 5 & 6: add two labels in position (0,0) and (0,1)
* line 7 & 8: add two textfields in position (1,0) and (1,1). The x means that the
* width will be expanded to occupy all column size. Because column 1 is set to expandable,
* when the container is resized the textfields are resized too.<BR>
* line 9: adds a panel in position (0,2). Then panel is expanded both horizontally and
* vertically and spreads over 2 cells in x direction.<BR><BR>
* The complete command string is:<BR><PRE>
* "x,y,xa,ya,xs,ys" where:
* x,y specify the component position (are the column-row indexes)
* xa specifies the x align of the component and can be:
* l - for left
* c - for center
* r - for right
* x - exands the component's width
* (default is l)
* ya specifies the y align of the component and can be:
* t - for top
* c - for center
* b - for bottom
* x - exands the component's height
* (default is c)
* xs and ys specify the number or columns/rows occupied by the component (default is 1)
* </PRE>
* <B>Notes:</B><BR>
* - if a component occupies more than 1 cell in x direction, its preferred width is NOT
* taken into account (same for y).<BR>
* - if a column / row is empty, its size is set to a default value. This value can be
* changed using setXNullgap/setYNullgap methods.
* <BR><BR>
* Have fun!!!
