implements LayoutManager

 <table rows=2 cols=2>

Tags and their options

Table

• Contains TR
  
  
• horz= LEFT | RIGHT | CENTER | FIT | (MAX)
  Specifies how the table fills the available width
• vert= TOP | BOTTOM | CENTER | FIT | (MAX)
  Specifies how the table fills the available height
• rows=y ; y = rowCount (req)
• cols=y ; y = colCount (req)
• hgap=y ; y = horizontal gap between components
• vgap=y ; y = vertical gap between components
• hpad=y ; y = horizontal padding (components made wider)
• vpad=y ; y = vertical padding (components made taller)

TR

• Contains TD
  
  
• vgap=y ; y = gap between this row and the row above

TD

• Contains text (creates a label) or TABLE but only if no component is specified. Nested tables inherit the gaps and pads of their enclosing table.
  
  
• colspan=y
• rowspan=y
• horz= (LEFT) | RIGHT | CENTER | FIT | MAX
  Specifies how the component fills the available cell width
• vert= TOP | BOTTOM | (CENTER) | FIT | MAX
  Specifies how the component fills the available cell height
• hgap=y ; y = horizontal gap between components
• vgap=y ; y = vertical gap between components
• hpad=y ; y = horizontal padding
• vpad=y ; y = vertical padding (components made larger)
• component="componentName" ; this is the name that must be used when add is called, as in add(comp, "componentName")

 public void addLabels(Container parent)

If this layout includes any automatic lables (text within a TD) this will add them to container parent. It is not always necessary to call this, if you don't it will automatically be called when the container is first sized or layed out. Ordinarily this is ok but not always, such as when using CardLayout. Calling addLabels manually at the same time as the other components are added will never be a problem.
