Class AnimatedLayout

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    LayoutManager, LayoutManager2 

    public class AnimatedLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager2
    A layout that smoothly animates components as they need to move from one location to another.

    This is achieved by calling:
    myComponent.putClientProperty(DESTINATION, newDestination)

    This layout then nudges the component until it reaches that destination. The nudge is proportional to the distance that the component has to cover, giving the impression of a decelerating animation as the object approaches its destination.

      • DELAY

        public static int DELAY
        This is the delay, in milliseconds, between adjustments. I find 30 to be almost "too fast" and 50 almost "too slow".
