Parameters:
- name - the name of the component
- comp - the component

  Returns the axis that was used to lay out components.

  Returns the axis that was used to lay out components.
Returns one of:
BoxLayout.X_AXIS,
BoxLayout.Y_AXIS,
BoxLayout.LINE_AXIS or
BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS
Returns: the axis that was used to lay out components
Since: 1.6

  Returns the alignment along the X axis for the container.

  Returns the alignment along the X axis for the container.
If the box is horizontal, the default
alignment will be returned. Otherwise, the alignment needed
to place the children along the X axis will be returned.
Returns: the alignment >= 0.0f && <= 1.0f
Parameters:
- target - the container
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor

  Returns the alignment along the Y axis for the container.

  Returns the alignment along the Y axis for the container.
If the box is vertical, the default
alignment will be returned. Otherwise, the alignment needed
to place the children along the Y axis will be returned.
Returns: the alignment >= 0.0f && <= 1.0f
Parameters:
- target - the container
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor

  Returns the container that uses this layout manager.

  Returns the container that uses this layout manager.
Returns: the container that uses this layout manager
Since: 1.6

  Indicates that a child has changed its layout related information, and thus any cached calculations should be flushed.

  Indicates that a child has changed its layout related information, and thus any cached calculations should be flushed.

This method is called by AWT when the invalidate method is called on the Container. Since the invalidate method may be called asynchronously to the event thread, this method may be called asynchronously.
Parameters:
- target - the affected container
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor

  Called by the AWT when the specified container needs to be laid out.

  Called by the AWT when the specified container
needs to be laid out.
Parameters:
- target - the container to lay out
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor

  Returns the maximum dimensions the target container can use to lay out the components it contains.

  Returns the maximum dimensions the target container can use
to lay out the components it contains.
Returns: the dimenions >= 0 && <= Integer.MAX_VALUE
Parameters:
- target - the container that needs to be laid out
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor
See Also: BoxLayout.preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container), BoxLayout.minimumLayoutSize(java.awt.Container),

  Returns the minimum dimensions needed to lay out the components contained in the specified target container.

  Returns the minimum dimensions needed to lay out the components
contained in the specified target container.
Returns: the dimensions >= 0 && <= Integer.MAX_VALUE
Parameters:
- target - the container that needs to be laid out
Throws:
- AWTError - if the target isn't the container specified to the BoxLayout constructor
See Also: BoxLayout.preferredLayoutSize(java.awt.Container), BoxLayout.maximumLayoutSize(java.awt.Container),
