RESOURCE_TYPE VIEW_PANEL

An instance of this resource type encapsulates an instance of a Java™ JPanel with a specialized LayoutManager to implement a grid-like layout based on a characteristic dimension DIA in pixels. This panel and its layout manager implement the following rules:

1. The preferred width of the panel is SIZE[0]*DIA pixels, and its preferred height is SIZE[1]*DIA pixels.
2. If the DIA input of the resource is configured to a positive non-zero value, this value will override the value of any DIA input declared as UINT in any component function block contained in the resource.
3. The background color of the panel is given by the BKGD input, and does not override the default or configured background color of a component function block.
4. If the value of the VERTICAL input is FALSE (0) (the default value), the layout is equivalent to a left-justified Java^TM FlowLayout.
5. If the value of the VERTICAL input is TRUE (1), the layout is similar to a Java^TM FlowLayout, except that components "flow" first to the upper left corner and are then aligned one beneath the other until a component no longer fits in the column. At this point the next component "flows" to the top of the next column, whose left margin is defined as the right edge of the widest component in the previous column.
