Method Detail

getMicroLayout

public MicroLayout getMicroLayout(String lafName, 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.
