extends java.lang.Object

This example provides an alternate code using the Pagelayout for the gui in the following tutorial on Table Layout. The simplicity of the program to create this GUI is quite notworthy, in that all the components are placed in a vertically stacked set of rows with proper alignment specified for each row.

Note that the code requires that the static methods of the class EasyCell be imported using the import static pagelayout.EasyCell.* statement.
