/**
 * A flow layout arranges components in a directional flow, much
 * like lines of text in a paragraph. The flow direction is
 * determined by the container's <code>componentOrientation</code>
 * property and may be one of two values: 
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT</code>
 * <li><code>ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT</code>
 * </ul>
 * Flow layouts are typically used
 * to arrange buttons in a panel. It arranges buttons
 * horizontally until no more buttons fit on the same line.
 * The line alignment is determined by the <code>align</code>
 * property. The possible values are:
 * <ul>
 * <li>{@link #LEFT LEFT}
 * <li>{@link #RIGHT RIGHT}
 * <li>{@link #CENTER CENTER}
 * <li>{@link #LEADING LEADING}
 * <li>{@link #TRAILING TRAILING}
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * For example, the following picture shows an applet using the flow
 * layout manager (its default layout manager) to position three buttons:
 * <p>
 * <img src="doc-files/FlowLayout-1.gif"
 * ALT="Graphic of Layout for Three Buttons"
 * ALIGN=center HSPACE=10 VSPACE=7>
 * <p>
 * Here is the code for this applet:
 * <p>
 * <hr><blockquote><pre>
 * import java.awt.*;
 * import java.applet.Applet;
 *
 * public class myButtons extends Applet {
 *     Button button1, button2, button3;
 *     public void init() {
 *         button1 = new Button("Ok");
 *         button2 = new Button("Open");
 *         button3 = new Button("Close");
 *         add(button1);
 *         add(button2);
 *         add(button3);
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre></blockquote><hr>
 * <p>
 * A flow layout lets each component assume its natural (preferred) size.
