All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Configurable, LayoutManager

public class BoxLayoutManager
extends LayoutManagerBase

Layout manager that organizes components in a single row (horizontal) or column (vertical)

Although a table based template could be used, setup is done to also support a CSS based template. The items in the Container instance are rendered sequentially wrapping each one with a span element. The padding property can be configured to space the elements as needed. To achieve a vertical orientation, the span style is set to block. Additional styling can be set for the items by using the itemSpanStyle property.
