Extending Builders: Layout Builders (original) (raw)

GridPaneBuilder addColumn(int columnIndex, Node... children) addRow(int rowIndex, Node... children) add(Node child, int columnIndex, int rowIndex) add(Node child, int columnIndex, int rowIndex, int colspan, int rowspan)

Do we use columnIndex, rowIndex elsewhere? Usually I've seen "row, col", but "x, y", so it could go either way, but we should be consistent with elsewhere in the platform.

RegionBuilder maxSize(double width, double height) minSize(double width, double height) prefSize(double width, double height) These will be inherited by all layout builders.

A also propose to add following convenience methods which don't have direct counterpart in layout classes (the constraints can be specified only by static methods there) Adding these would enable us to add child with constraint to layout without having to hold a reference to it. e.g Hbox h = HBoxBuilder.create().add(CircleBuilder.create...build(), margin).build(); instead of Circle circle = CircleBuilder.create...build(); Hbox h = HBoxBuilder.create().children(circle).build(); Hbox.setMargin (circle, margin); The proposed methods are: AnchorPaneBuilder add(Node child, Double topAnchor, Double rightAnchor, Double bottomAnchor, Double leftAnchor)

Can these be primitive doubles instead?

BorderPaneBuilder add(Node child, Pos alignment) add(Node child, Insets margin) add(Node child, Pos alignment, Insets margin)

FlowPaneBuilder add(Node child, Insets margin) GridPaneBuilder add(Node child, int columnIndex, int rowIndex, int columnspan, int rowspan, HPos halignment, VPos valignment) add(Node child, int columnIndex, int rowIndex, int columnspan, int rowspan, HPos halignment, VPos valignment, Priority hgrow, Priority vgrow) add(Node child, int columnIndex, int rowIndex, int columnspan, int rowspan, HPos halignment, VPos valignment, Priority hgrow, Priority vgrow, Insets margin) HBoxBuilder add(Node child, Priority hgrow) add(Node child, Insets margin) add(Node child, Priority hgrow, Insets margin) StackPaneBuilder add(Node child, Pos alignment) add(Node child, Insets margin) add(Node child, Pos alignment, Insets margin) TilePaneBuilder add(Node child, Pos alignment) add(Node child, Insets margin) add(Node child, Pos alignment, Insets margin) VBoxBuilder add(Node child, Priority vgrow) add(Node child, Insets margin) add(Node child, Priority vgrow, Insets margin)

OK.
