  37  * A lightweight container
  38  * that uses a BoxLayout object as its layout manager.
  39  * Box provides several class methods
  40  * that are useful for containers using BoxLayout --
  41  * even non-Box containers.
  42  *
  43  * <p>
  44  * The <code>Box</code> class can create several kinds
  45  * of invisible components
  46  * that affect layout:
  47  * glue, struts, and rigid areas.
  48  * If all the components your <code>Box</code> contains
  49  * have a fixed size,
  50  * you might want to use a glue component
  51  * (returned by <code>createGlue</code>)
  52  * to control the components' positions.
  53  * If you need a fixed amount of space between two components,
  54  * try using a strut
  55  * (<code>createHorizontalStrut</code> or <code>createVerticalStrut</code>).
  56  * If you need an invisible component
  57  * that always takes up the same amount of space,
  58  * get it by invoking <code>createRigidArea</code>.
  59  * <p>
  60  * If you are implementing a <code>BoxLayout</code> you
  61  * can find further information and examples in
  62  * <a
  63  href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/box.html">How to Use BoxLayout</a>,

 207      * For example, suppose you have
 208      * a horizontal box that contains two fixed-size components.
 209      * If the box gets extra space,
 210      * the fixed-size components won't become larger,
 211     * so where does the extra space go?
 212      * Without glue,
 213      * the extra space goes to the right of the second component.
 214      * If you put glue between the fixed-size components,
 215      * then the extra space goes there.
 216      * If you put glue before the first fixed-size component,
 217      * the extra space goes there,
 218      * and the fixed-size components are shoved against the right
 219      * edge of the box.
 220      * If you put glue before the first fixed-size component
 221      * and after the second fixed-size component,
 222      * the fixed-size components are centered in the box.
 223      *
 224      * <p>
 225      *
 226      * To use glue,
 227      * call {@code Box.createGlue}
 228      * and add the returned component to a container.
 229      * The glue component has no minimum or preferred size,
 230      * so it takes no space unless excess space is available.
 231      * If excess space is available,
 232      * then the glue component takes its share of available
 233      * horizontal or vertical space,
 234      * just like any other component that has no maximum width or height.
