A CardLayout object is a layout manager for a container. It
treats each component in the container as a card. Only one card is
visible at a time, and the container acts as a stack of cards. The first
component added to a CardLayout object is the visible component
when the container is first displayed. The ordering of cards is
determined by the container's own internal ordering of its component
objects. CardLayout defines a set of methods that allow an
application to flip through these cards sequentially, or to show a
specified card.
