Layout in java


/*
   This applet demonstrates various layout managers.
   The applet itself uses a border layout with a JPanel in
   the center, a JComboBox menu to the North, and a JLabel
   to the south. The center panel uses a CardLayout.
   Each card in the card layout contains a number of
   buttons and uses a different layout manager.  The
   JComboBox menu is used to select among these cards.
   The JLabel reports events as they occur.
