Layout Management
- The problem is making user the buttons are
placed correctly inside the frame.
- Some user interface toolkits supply a graphical
layout tool to define the placement of buttons, text controls, and
other user interface elements in a frame.
- Such tools make designing a user interface simple, but
the design tends to be fragile.
- If a component size changes (perhaps the button
text is translated to another language: "Goodbye" to "Auf
Wiedersehen") the entire layout needs to be rebuilt.
- More robust layouts require a description of
the logic behind the placement of the interface
elements.
