public class Layout extends Canvas implements HasMembersChangedHandlers
Arranges a set of "member" Canvases in horizontal or vertical stacks, applying a layout policy to determine member heights and widths.

A Layout manages a set of "member" Canvases provided as `members`. Layouts can have both "members", whose position and size are managed by the Layout, and normal Canvas children, which manage their own position and size.

Rather than using the Layout class directly, use the `HLayout`, `VLayout`, `HStack` and `VStack` classes, which are subclasses of Layout preconfigured for horizontal or vertical stacking, with the "fill" (VLayout) or "none" (VStack) `policies` already set.

Layouts and Stacks may be nested to create arbitrarily complex layouts.

Since Layouts can be either horizontally or vertically oriented, throughout the documentation of Layout and it's subclasses, the term "length" refers to the axis of stacking, and the term "breadth" refers to the other axis. Hence, "length" means height in the context of a VLayout or VStack, but means width in the context of an HLayout or HStack.

To show a resizer bar after (to the right or bottom of) a layout member, set `showResizeBar` to true on that member component (not on the HLayout or VLayout). Resizer bars override `membersMargin` spacing.

Like other Canvas subclasses, Layout and Stack components may have % width and height values. To create a dynamically-resizing layout that occupies the entire page (or entire parent component), set width and height to "100%".

  - ### setCanDropComponents

    public Layout setCanDropComponents(Boolean canDropComponents) throws IllegalStateException
    Layouts provide a default implementation of a drag and drop interaction. If you set `canAcceptDrop`:true and `canDropComponents:true` on a Layout, when a droppable Canvas (`canDrop:true` is dragged over the layout, it will show a dropLine (a simple insertion line) at the drop location.

    When the drop occurs, `getDropComponent()` is invoked to determine which component should be added to the layout as a member at the location calculated by `getDropPosition()`. By default this method will return the current drag target. This default behavior allows existing members to be reordered or external components that have `Canvas.canDragReposition` (or `Canvas.canDrag`) and `Canvas.canDrop` set to `true` to be added to the Layout.

    You can control the thickness of the dropLine via `dropLineThickness` and you can customize the style using css styling in the skin file (look for .layoutDropLine in skin_styles.css for your skin).

    If you want to dynamically create a component to be added to the Layout in response to a drop event you can override `getDropComponent()`, or for entirely custom behavior override the `drop event handler` as follows:

           final VLayout vLayout = new VLayout();
           //...various layout properties...
           vLayout.setCanDropComponents(true);
           vLayout.addDropHandler(new DropHandler() {
               @Override
               public void onDrop(DropEvent event) {
                   // create the new component
                   Canvas newMember = new Canvas();
                   // add to the layout at the current drop position
                   // (the dropLine will be showing here)
                   vLayout.addMember(newMember, vLayout.getDropPosition());
                   // hide the dropLine that was automatically shown
                   // by builtin SmartGWT methods
                   vLayout.hideDropLine();
               }
           });

    If you want to completely suppress the builtin drag and drop logic, but still receive drag and drop events for your own custom implementation, set `Canvas.canAcceptDrop` to `true` and `canDropComponents` to `false` on your Layout.

    Note : This is an advanced setting

    Parameters:
      `canDropComponents` - New canDropComponents value. Default value is true
    Returns:
      `Layout` instance, for chaining setter calls
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
    See Also:
      - `Drag and Drop`

  - ### setMembers

    public Layout setMembers(Canvas... members)
    An array of canvases that will be contained within this layout. You can set the following properties on these canvases (in addition to the standard component properties):
    - `layoutAlign` -- specifies the member's alignment along the breadth axis; valid values are "top", "center" and "bottom" for a horizontal layout and "left", "center" and "right" for a vertical layout (see `defaultLayoutAlign` for default implementation.)
    - `showResizeBar` -- set to true to show a resize bar (default is false)
    Height and width settings found on members are interpreted by the Layout according to the `layout policy`.

    Note that it is valid to have null slots in the provided `members` Array, and the Layout will ignore those slots. This can be useful to keep code compact, for example, when constructing the `members` Array, you might use an expression that either returns a component or null depending on whether the component should be present. If the expression returns null, the null slot will be ignored by the Layout.
    If this method is called after the component has been drawn/initialized: Display a new set of members in this layout. Equivalent to calling removeMembers() then addMembers(). Note that the new members may include members already present, in which case they will be reordered / integrated with any other new members passed into this method.

    Overrides:
      `setOverflow` in class `Canvas`
    Parameters:
      `overflow` - New overflow value. Default value is "visible"

    public Layout setPaddingAsLayoutMargin(Boolean paddingAsLayoutMargin)
    If this widget has padding specified (as `this.padding` or in the CSS style applied to this layout), should it show up as space outside the members, similar to layoutMargin?

    If this setting is false, padding will not affect member positioning (as CSS padding normally does not affect absolutely positioned children). Leaving this setting true allows a designer to more effectively control layout purely from CSS.

    Note that `layoutMargin` if specified, takes precedence over this value.

    Note : This is an advanced setting

    Parameters:
      `paddingAsLayoutMargin` - New paddingAsLayoutMargin value. Default value is true
    Returns:
      `Layout` instance, for chaining setter calls

  - ### getPaddingAsLayoutMargin

    Default value for this property sets the placeholder `styleName` to `"layoutPlaceHolder"`
    To modify this object, use Class.changeDefaults()
    Parameters:
      `placeHolderDefaults` - New placeHolderDefaults value. Default value is null
    Returns:
      `Layout` instance, for chaining setter calls
    Throws:
      `IllegalStateException` - this property cannot be changed after the component has been created
    See Also:
      - `Drag and Drop`
      - `SGWTProperties`

  - ### setPlaceHolderProperties

    public Layout setPlaceHolderProperties(Canvas placeHolderProperties) throws IllegalStateException

  - ### getResizeBar

    public Splitbar getResizeBar()
    Note : This API is non-functional (always returns null) and exists only to make you aware that this MultiAutoChild exists. See `Using AutoChildren` for details.

    A MultiAutoChild created to resize members of this `Layout`.

    A resize bar will be created for any member of this `Layout` that has `showResizeBar` set to `true`. Resize bars will be instances of the class specified by `resizeBarClass` by default, and will automatically be sized to the member's breadth, and to the thickness specified by `resizeBarSize`.

    To customize the appearance or behavior of resizeBars within some layout a custom resize bar class can be created by subclassing `Splitbar` or `ImgSplitbar` and setting `resizeBarClass` or `resizeBarConstructor` to this custom class. Alternatively, `Canvas.setAutoChildProperties(java.lang.String, com.smartgwt.client.widgets.Canvas)` may be called to set resizeBar properties:

              final Splitbar resizeBarProperties = new Splitbar();
              //...
              layout.setAutoChildProperties("resizeBar", resizeBarProperties);

    See `AutoChildUsage` for more information.

    If you create a custom resize bar class in Java, enable `Reflection` to allow it to be used.

    Alternatively, you can use the SmartClient class system to create a simple SmartClient subclass of either `Splitbar` or `ImgSplitbar` for use with this API - see the `Skinning Guide` for details.

    The built-in `Splitbar` class supports drag resizing of its target member, and clicking on the bar with a mouse to collapse/uncollapse the target member.

    Returns:
      null

    public void getMemberDefaultBreadth(Canvas member, int defaultBreadth)
    Return the breadth for a member of this layout which either didn't specify a breadth or specified a percent breadth with `managePercentBreadth`:true.

    Called only for Layouts which have a `layout policy` for the breadth axis of "fill", since Layouts with a breadth policy of "none" leave all member breadths alone.

    Parameters:
      `member` - Component to be sized
      `defaultBreadth` - Value of the currently calculated member breadth. This may be returned verbatim or manipulated in this method.
    See Also:
      - `LayoutMember overview and related methods`

  - ### getMemberNumber

    public int getMemberNumber(String memberID)
    Given a member Canvas or member `ID` or `name`, return the index of that member within this layout's members array. If passed a number, just returns it.

    Note that if more than one member has the same `name`, passing in a `name` has an undefined result.

    Parameters:
      `memberID` - required member or its identifier
    Returns:
      index of the member canvas (or -1 if not found)
    See Also:
      - `getMember(java.lang.String)`

  - ### getMembersLength

    public Integer getMembersLength()
    Convenience method to return the number of members this Layout has
    Returns:
      the number of members this Layout has

  - ### hasMember

    public Boolean hasMember(Canvas canvas)
    Returns true if the layout includes the specified canvas.
    Parameters:
      `canvas` - the canvas to check for
    Returns:
      true if the layout includes the specified canvas

  - ### hideDropLine

    public void hideDropLine()
    Calling this method hides the dropLine shown during a drag and drop interaction with a Layout that has `canDropComponents` set to true. This method is only useful for custom implementations of `drop()` as the default implementation calls this method automatically.

  - ### hideMember

    public void hideMember(Canvas member)
    Hide the specified member, firing the specified callback when the hide is complete.

    Members can always be directly hidden via `member.hide()`, but if `animation` is enabled, animation will only occur if hideMember() is called to hide the member.

    Parameters:
      `member` - Member to hide

  - ### hideMember

    public void hideMember(Canvas member, Function callback)
    Hide the specified member, firing the specified callback when the hide is complete.

    Members can always be directly hidden via `member.hide()`, but if `animation` is enabled, animation will only occur if hideMember() is called to hide the member.

    Parameters:
      `member` - Member to hide
      `callback` - callback to fire when the member is hidden.

  - ### layoutIsDirty

    public boolean layoutIsDirty()
    Returns whether there is a pending reflow of the members of the layout.

    Modifying the set of members, resizing members or changing layout settings will cause a recalculation of member sizes to be scheduled. The recalculation is delayed so that it is not performed redundantly if multiple changes are made in a row.

    To force immediate recalculation of new member sizes and resizing of members, call `reflowNow()`.

    Returns:
      whether the layout is currently dirty

  - ### addMembersChangedHandler

    public HandlerRegistration addMembersChangedHandler(MembersChangedHandler handler)
    Add a membersChanged handler.

    Fires once at initialization if the layout has any initial members, and then fires whenever members are added, removed or reordered.

    Specified by:
      `addMembersChangedHandler` in interface `HasMembersChangedHandlers`
    Parameters:
      `handler` - the membersChanged handler
    Returns:
      `HandlerRegistration` used to remove this handler

  - ### reflow

    public void reflow()
    Layout members according to current settings.

    Members will reflow automatically when the layout is resized, members resize, the list of members changes or members change visibility. It is only necessary to manually call `reflow()` after changing settings on the layout, for example, `layout.reverseOrder`.

  - ### reflow

    public void reflow(String reason)
    Layout members according to current settings.

    Members will reflow automatically when the layout is resized, members resize, the list of members changes or members change visibility. It is only necessary to manually call `reflow()` after changing settings on the layout, for example, `layout.reverseOrder`.

    Parameters:
      `reason` - reason reflow() had to be called (appear in logs if enabled)

  - ### reflowNow

    public void reflowNow()
    Layout members according to current settings, immediately.
    Generally, when changes occur that require a layout to reflow (such as members being shown or hidden), the Layout will reflow only after a delay, so that multiple changes cause only one reflow. To remove this delay for cases where it is not helpful, reflowNow() can be called.

  - ### removeMember

    public void removeMember(Canvas member)
    Removes the specified member from the layout. If it has a resize bar, the bar will be destroyed.
    Parameters:
      `member` - the canvas to be removed from the layout

  - ### removeMembers

    public void removeMembers(Canvas... members)
    Removes the specified members from the layout. If any of the removed members have resize bars, the bars will be destroyed.

      `members` - array of members to be removed, or single member

  - ### removeMembers

    public void removeMembers(Canvas members)
    Removes the specified members from the layout. If any of the removed members have resize bars, the bars will be destroyed.

      `newPosition` - new position to move the members to

  - ### replaceMember

    public void replaceMember(Canvas oldMember, Canvas newMember)
    Replaces an existing member of the layout with a different widget. The new member will be assigned the width and height of the existing member (including sizes configured via end user resize), so no reflow will occur unless the new component has visible overflow and it differs from that of the widget it replaced.
    Parameters:
      `oldMember` - an existing member of the layout to be replaced
      `newMember` - a different widget that should replace `oldMember`
    See Also:

    Parameters:
      `member` - Member to show

  - ### showMember

    public void showMember(Canvas member, Function callback)
    Show the specified member, firing the specified callback when the show is complete.

    Parameters:
      `member` - Member to show
      `callback` - action to fire when the member has been shown

  - ### setDefaultProperties

    public static void setDefaultProperties(Layout layoutProperties)
    Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

    Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

    Parameters:
      `layoutProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
    See Also:
      - `SGWTProperties`
