Gang,

I am trying to understand the overall layout algorithms, and looking
at Border (since I though it would be a simple case).

getPreferredHeight takes width as input, where -1 signals "nothing
particular", and vice versa for getPreferredWidth.

But what does the returned value allow to return?

Can a component not say "Give me whatever space that is available, and
I'll do what I can with what you give me." ?


Cheers
