 public interface LayoutManagerDefines the interface for classes that know how to lay outContainers.Swing's painting architecture assumes the children of a JComponentdo not overlap. If aJComponent'sLayoutManagerallows children to overlap, theJComponentmust overrideisOptimizedDrawingEnabledto return false.- See Also:
