  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

  66  * <strong>Warning:</strong>
  67  * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
