Description
The class of fixed layouts. Fixed layouts are similar to pinboard layouts, in that the positioning and geometry of the children of a fixed layout are entirely determined by the programmer. You can place children at any point in a fixed layout, and the layout does not attempt to calculate an optimum position or size for any of them.
Fixed layouts differ from pinboard layouts, however, in that any children placed in a fixed layout are left at exactly the size and position that they were created: pinboard layouts leave the positions of any children alone, but constrains the sizes of the children to obey any constraints they have been given.
Fixed layouts are most useful if you know exactly what size and position every child in the layout should be.
Operations
