Method Detail

getMicroLayout

MicroLayout getMicroLayout(java.lang.String lafName,
                           javax.swing.UIDefaults table)

Looks up and returns insets, margins, and gaps that will be used by a Look&Feel to set the component insets, margins and gaps.

This method is invoked during the L&F component initialization. And the invoker hands over the UIDefaults object used to define the component settings. Hence, the UIDefaults object may be used to look up values as initialized by a super Look&Feel. For example the JGoodies Windows L&F could use the defaults set by the super L&F, the Sun Windows L&F.

Parameters:

lafName - the name of the Look&Feel that requests the fonts

table - the UIDefaults table that can be used to look up fonts of a super L&F

Returns:

a micro layout used as default for the components.
