java.awt.Panel (JDK 1.0)

This class is a Container that is itself contained within a container. Unlike Frame and Dialog, Panel is a container that does not create a separate window of its own. Panel is suitable for holding portions of a larger interface within a parent Frame or Dialog or within another Panel. (Note that Applet is a subclass of Panel, and thus applets are displayed in a Panel that is contained within a Web browser or applet viewer.) The default LayoutManager for a Panel is FlowLayout.

public class Panel extends Container {
 // Public Constructors public Panel(); 1.1 public Panel(LayoutManager layout); // Public Instance Methods public void addNotify(); // Overrides Container
}
