Gola

  The following example is available as ExampleDialog in the Gola distribution.

  View the sequence of images of the Gola GUI as the user builds the simple GUI shown below.

   The following code was generated by Gola for the simple GUI shown below:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import pagelayout.*;
import pagelayout.util.*;
import static pagelayout.EasyCell.*;



/* 
   Generated code.
   ---------------
   This class is best used in applications by 
   extending it, and overriding the method 
   'decorateComponents' in the subclass.
   All the EventListeners should be added 
   to the various components in the over-ridden
   method 'docorateComponents'.


   Once the subclass has been appropriately
   defined and compiled, it can be used by 
   constructing a object of the derived subclass
   and calling the 'createGUI(Container c)'
   method of the object.

   For an example, see the 'testGUI' method of 
   of this class.

   A quick test without the need to write any code
   can be performed by compiling and 
   running this class by the following shell commands

> javac -classpath pagelayoutX.XX.jar;. ExampleDialog.java
> java -classpath pagelayoutX.XX.jar;. ExampleDialog

   Here 'pagelayoutX.XX.jar is the appropriate 
   jar file for the pagelayout layout manager 
   of version 1.14 or later.
