ScalableLayout

There is a nice zoom function included in Firefox: You can use CTRL+ and CTRL- to zoom in and out of a website. This is basically the same function for Swing applications.

Example usage (Single container):

// Registry of helper classes for scaling components and layouts.
ScalableLayoutRegistry scalerRegistry = new DefaultScalableLayoutRegistry();

// Install the layout on your container
ScalableLayoutUtils.installScalableLayout(scalerRegistry, aContainer);

Example usage (Multiple containers):

// Registry of helper classes for scaling components and layouts.
ScalableLayoutRegistry scalerRegistry = new DefaultScalableLayoutRegistry();

// Install the layout recursive on your container and it's children
ScalableLayoutUtils.installScalableLayoutRecursive(scalerRegistry, aContainer);
