Discuss border layout with example.

 The BorderLayout is used to arrange the components in five regions: north, south, east, west and center. Each region (area) may contain one component only.

Components of the BorderLayout Manager

BorderLayout.NORTH

BorderLayout.SOUTH

BorderLayout..EAST

BorderLayout.WEST 

BorderLayout.CENTER

BorderLayout Constructors:

BorderLayout()=creates a border layout but with no gaps between the components.

BorderLayout(int hgap, int vgap)=creates a border layout with the given horizontal and vertical gaps between the components.

Example:

import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class BorderLayoutExample 

{ BorderLayoutExample()

{ JFrame f=new JFrame();

JButton b1=new JButton("NORTH");; 

JButton b2=new JButton("SOUTH");; 

JButton b3=new JButton("EAST");; 

JButton b4=new JButton("WEST");;

JButton b5=new JButton("CENTER");;

f.add(b1,Border Layout.NORTH);

f.add(b2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

f.add(b3,BorderLayout.EAST); 

f.add(b4,BorderLayout. WEST);

f.add(b5,Border Layout.CENTER);

f.setSize(300,300); 

f.setVisible(true);

}

public static void main(String[] args)

 {

 new BorderLayoutExample();

}
