Borderlayout

• Objects are added to the "North", "South", "West", "East" or "Center"
• This is the default layout for Frame
• An example program is

  import java.awt.*;
  
  public class TestBorderLayout extends Frame {
  
      public static void main(String argv[])
      {
          new TestBorderLayout();
      }
  
      TestBorderLayout()
      {
          add("West", new PushButton("Push Me W"));
          add("East", new PushButton("Push Me E"));
          add("South", new PushButton("Push Me S"));
          add("North", new PushButton("Push Me N"));
          resize(400, 200);
          show();
      }
  }
  

• Space is left from the edges according to the inset.
• If there is a North component it stretches the full width (less the inset's left and right).
• The height of the North component is its preferredSize().height.
• If there is a South component it stretches the full width (less the inset's left and right).
• The height of the South component is its preferredSize.height().
• If there is a West component it fills the vertical space after the inset's top and bottom and the heights of the North and South components.
• The width of the West component is its preferredSize.width().
• Similar for the East component.
• The Center component is forced to fill the remaining space
