Class FillLayoutFactory

java.lang.Object
org.eclipse.jface.layout.FillLayoutFactory
public final class FillLayoutFactory extends Object
FillLayoutFactory creates and initializes fill layouts. It is used as a shorthand for writing "new FillLayout()" and initializing some fields. In this case the main benefit is a more concise syntax and the ability to create more than one identical FillLayout from the same factory. Changing a property of the factory will affect future layouts created by the factory, but has no effect on layouts that have already been created.
