Class Sizes

java.lang.Object
com.jgoodies.forms.layout.Sizes
public final class Sizes extends Object
Consists only of static methods that create and convert sizes as required by the FormLayout. The conversion of sizes that are not based on pixel is delegated to an implementation of UnitConverter. The conversion methods require the layout container as parameter to read its current font and resolution.
