Field Detail
* #### CENTER static final int CENTER The central position in an area. Used for both compass-direction constants (NORTH, etc.) and box-orientation constants (TOP, etc.). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.CENTER) * #### TOP static final int TOP Box-orientation constant used to specify the top of a box. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.TOP) * #### LEFT static final int LEFT Box-orientation constant used to specify the left side of a box. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.LEFT) * #### BOTTOM static final int BOTTOM Box-orientation constant used to specify the bottom of a box. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.BOTTOM) * #### RIGHT static final int RIGHT Box-orientation constant used to specify the right side of a box. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.RIGHT) * #### NORTH static final int NORTH Compass-direction North (up). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.NORTH) * #### NORTH\_EAST static final int NORTH_EAST Compass-direction north-east (upper right). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.NORTH%5FEAST) * #### EAST static final int EAST Compass-direction east (right). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.EAST) * #### SOUTH\_EAST static final int SOUTH_EAST Compass-direction south-east (lower right). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.SOUTH%5FEAST) * #### SOUTH static final int SOUTH Compass-direction south (down). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.SOUTH) * #### SOUTH\_WEST static final int SOUTH_WEST Compass-direction south-west (lower left). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.SOUTH%5FWEST) * #### WEST static final int WEST Compass-direction west (left). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.WEST) * #### NORTH\_WEST static final int NORTH_WEST Compass-direction north west (upper left). See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.NORTH%5FWEST) * #### HORIZONTAL static final int HORIZONTAL Horizontal orientation. Used for scrollbars and sliders. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.HORIZONTAL) * #### VERTICAL static final int VERTICAL Vertical orientation. Used for scrollbars and sliders. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.VERTICAL) * #### LEADING static final int LEADING Identifies the leading edge of text for use with left-to-right and right-to-left languages. Used by buttons and labels. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.LEADING) * #### TRAILING static final int TRAILING Identifies the trailing edge of text for use with left-to-right and right-to-left languages. Used by buttons and labels. See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.TRAILING) * #### NEXT static final int NEXT Identifies the next direction in a sequence. Since: 1.4 See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.NEXT) * #### PREVIOUS static final int PREVIOUS Identifies the previous direction in a sequence. Since: 1.4 See Also: [Constant Field Values](../../constant-values.html#javax.swing.SwingConstants.PREVIOUS)
