    public [Dimension](../../../../java/awt/Dimension.html "class in java.awt") getMaximumSize([JComponent](../../../../javax/swing/JComponent.html "class in javax.swing") c)  
    Returns the specified component's maximum size appropriate for the look and feel. If `null` is returned, the maximum size will be calculated by the component's layout manager instead (this is the preferred approach for any component with a specific layout manager installed). The default implementation of this method invokes `getPreferredSize` and returns that value.  
    Overrides:

    Parameters:  
    `c` \- the component whose maximum size is being queried; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components  
    Returns:  
    a `Dimension` object or `null`
