Types of layout manager
The 'flow' layout manager places objects from left to right and top to bottom. The 'grid' is similar, but it attempts to line up objects on a grid of a fixed size. This will usually result in objects being spaced more widely than the 'flow' layout. A 'border' layout has five regions: the centre and the four borders. Objects can be placed specifically into any of these regions. The 'card' layout is different in that it only displays one object at a time (like a stack of cards). Methods are provided to select which object is currently on 'top', and therefore visible. a more sophisticated layout manager is GridBagLayout, see 13.15 of Chapter 13 of Deitel and Deitel for further information
