Class com.bulletproof.gui.BorderLayout 

java.lang.Object

   +----com.bulletproof.gui.BorderLayout
public class BorderLayout
extends Object
implements LayoutManager
A TNT style border bag layout. It will layout a container using members named "North", "South", "East", "West" and "Center". When you add a component to a container that has a BorderLayout layout manager, be sure to specify a string for where to add the component, for example: 
    Panel p = new Panel();
    p.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p.add(new Button("Okay"), "South");
As a convenience, BorderLayout interprets the absence of a string specification the same as "Center": 
    Panel p2 = new Panel();
    p2.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    p2.add(new TextArea());  // Same as p.add(new TextArea(), "Center");
The "North", "South", "East" and "West" components get layed out according to their preferred sizes and the constraints of the container's size. The "Center" component will get any space left over.
