Package com.droplets.api Description

Contains all of the classes for creating user interfaces, including Application; window classes Frame and Dialog; and all Component classes, as well as a variety of important helper classes.

The Application class represents the Client's application session. Within Application's constructor, you'll insert an instance of the Frame or Dialog class, both descended from Window. In turn, within the window constructor you'll place any of the Components contained within this package, and set their appearance, functionality and GridBagLayout parameters.

The Panel is a special component that acts as a container for your other components. It contains a grid within which you can place the rest of the components. Panels may also be nested for more sophisticated GUI layouts.

Among the helper classes are formatting tools such as Color, Font and ImageMode, as well as classes for handling the Component layout.
