Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-790:
--------------------------------------
Hmm, interesting thought. Although the code for the interesting part of
FillPane (the "layout" method) turned out to be a fair amount different than
BoxPane is (see the attached patch). I'm experimenting with this
implementation of FillPane in my own code to see what it "feels" like. I'm
ending up replacing a lot of BoxPane with FillPane because often I've wanted to
fill up the space.....
To my mind, even though the implementation is similar there is a different
purpose for BoxPane and this FillPane: the former arranges things in a line,
while the latter fills up the space and contains/constrains its children.

> Would like to have a FillPane that lays out its components to fill the
> available space both horizontally and vertically. It does have an
> orientation (like BoxPane) to specify the direction to lay things out but it
> always allows its children to fill up the space.
