Class LayoutAnimator

java.lang.Object
  oracle.ide.controls.LayoutAnimator

public class LayoutAnimator
extends java.lang.Object

The LayoutAnimator makes it very easy to animate the transition of components from one position to another.

1. Create a LayoutAnimator based on the parent container.
2. Move, show, hide components.
3. Call animate(int, long, int, double, double, java.beans.PropertyChangeListener)()

For example:

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    final JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    final Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();

    for (String s : new String[]{BorderLayout.NORTH, BorderLayout.WEST, BorderLayout.EAST, BorderLayout.SOUTH})
    {
      final JButton button = new JButton(s);
      button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
      {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
          final LayoutAnimator layoutAnimator = new LayoutAnimator(contentPane);

          final Component[] components = contentPane.getComponents();
          for (int i = 0; i < components.length; i++)
          {
            final Component component = components[i];
            component.setVisible(true);
          }

          final JButton button = (JButton) e.getSource();
          button.setVisible(false);
          layoutAnimator.animate(30, 300, 10, .6F, .14F, null);
        }
      });
      contentPane.add(button, s);
    }
    final JLabel label = new JLabel("Press a button...");
    label.setOpaque(true);
    label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
    contentPane.add(label);


    frame.setBounds(100, 100, 300, 300);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
