/**
 * A <code>SpringLayout</code> lays out the children of its associated container
 * according to a set of constraints.
 * See <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/spring.html">How to Use SpringLayout</a>
 * in <em>The Java Tutorial</em> for examples of using
 * <code>SpringLayout</code>.
 *
 * <p>
 * Each constraint,
 * represented by a <code>Spring</code> object,
 * controls the vertical or horizontal distance
 * between two component edges.
 * The edges can belong to
 * any child of the container,
 * or to the container itself.
 * For example,
 * the allowable width of a component
 * can be expressed using a constraint
 * that controls the distance between the west (left) and east (right)
 * edges of the component.
 * The allowable <em>y</em> coordinates for a component
 * can be expressed by constraining the distance between
 * the north (top) edge of the component
 * and the north edge of its container.
 *
 * <P>
 * Every child of a <code>SpringLayout</code>-controlled container,
 * as well as the container itself,
 * has exactly one set of constraints
 * associated with it.
 * These constraints are represented by
 * a <code>SpringLayout.Constraints</code> object.
 * By default,
 * <code>SpringLayout</code> creates constraints
 * that make their associated component
 * have the minimum, preferred, and maximum sizes
 * returned by the component's
 * {@link java.awt.Component#getMinimumSize},
 * {@link java.awt.Component#getPreferredSize}, and
 * {@link java.awt.Component#getMaximumSize}
 * methods. The <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> positions are initially not
 * constrained, so that until you constrain them the <code>Component</code>
 * will be positioned at 0,0 relative to the <code>Insets</code> of the
 * parent <code>Container</code>.
 *
 * <p>
 * You can change
 * a component's constraints in several ways.
 * You can
 * use one of the
 * {@link #putConstraint putConstraint}
 * methods
 * to establish a spring
 * linking the edges of two components within the same container.
 * Or you can get the appropriate <code>SpringLayout.Constraints</code>
 * object using
 * {@link #getConstraints getConstraints}
 * and then modify one or more of its springs.
 * Or you can get the spring for a particular edge of a component
 * using {@link #getConstraint getConstraint},
 * and modify it.
 * You can also associate
 * your own <code>SpringLayout.Constraints</code> object
 * with a component by specifying the constraints object
 * when you add the component to its container
 * (using
 * {@link Container#add(Component, Object)}).
 *
 * <p>
 * The <code>Spring</code> object representing each constraint
 * has a minimum, preferred, maximum, and current value.
 * The current value of the spring
 * is somewhere between the minimum and maximum values,
 * according to the formula given in the
 * {@link Spring#sum} method description.
 * When the minimum, preferred, and maximum values are the same,
 * the current value is always equal to them;
 * this inflexible spring is called a <em>strut</em>.
 * You can create struts using the factory method
 * {@link Spring#constant(int)}.
 * The <code>Spring</code> class also provides factory methods
 * for creating other kinds of springs,
 * including springs that depend on other springs.
 *
 * <p>
 * In a <code>SpringLayout</code>, the position of each edge is dependent on
 * the position of just one other edge. If a constraint is subsequently added
 * to create a new binding for an edge, the previous binding is discarded
 * and the edge remains dependent on a single edge.
 * Springs should only be attached
 * between edges of the container and its immediate children; the behavior
 * of the <code>SpringLayout</code> when presented with constraints linking
 * the edges of components from different containers (either internal or
 * external) is undefined.
 *
 * <h2>
 * SpringLayout vs. Other Layout Managers
 * </h2>
 *
 * <blockquote>
 * <hr>
 * <strong>Note:</strong>
 * Unlike many layout managers,
 * <code>SpringLayout</code> doesn't automatically set the location of
 * the components it manages.
 * If you hand-code a GUI that uses <code>SpringLayout</code>,
 * remember to initialize component locations by constraining the west/east
 * and north/south locations.
 * <p>
 * Depending on the constraints you use,
 * you may also need to set the size of the container explicitly.
 * <hr>
 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>
 * Despite the simplicity of <code>SpringLayout</code>,
 * it can emulate the behavior of most other layout managers.
 * For some features,
 * such as the line breaking provided by <code>FlowLayout</code>,
 * you'll need to
 * create a special-purpose subclass of the <code>Spring</code> class.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>SpringLayout</code> also provides a way to solve
 * many of the difficult layout
 * problems that cannot be solved by nesting combinations
 * of <code>Box</code>es. That said, <code>SpringLayout</code> honors the
 * <code>LayoutManager2</code> contract correctly and so can be nested with
 * other layout managers -- a technique that can be preferable to
 * creating the constraints implied by the other layout managers.
 * <p>
 * The asymptotic complexity of the layout operation of a <code>SpringLayout</code>
 * is linear in the number of constraints (and/or components).
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases. The current serialization support is
 * appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running
 * the same version of Swing.  As of 1.4, support for long term storage
 * of all JavaBeans
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
 * Please see {@link java.beans.XMLEncoder}.

     * A <code>Constraints</code> object holds the

     * change in a container controlled by a <code>SpringLayout</code>.
     * A <code>Constraints</code> object is
     * like a <code>Rectangle</code>, in that it
     * has <code>x</code>, <code>y</code>,
     * <code>width</code>, and <code>height</code> properties.
     * In the <code>Constraints</code> object, however,
     * these properties have
     * <code>Spring</code> values instead of integers.
     * In addition,
     * a <code>Constraints</code> object
     * can be manipulated as four edges
     * -- north, south, east, and west --
     * using the <code>constraint</code> property.
     *
     * <p>
     * The following formulas are always true
     * for a <code>Constraints</code> object (here WEST and <code>x</code> are synonyms, as are and NORTH and <code>y</code>):
     *
     * <pre>
     *               EAST = WEST + WIDTH
     *              SOUTH = NORTH + HEIGHT
     *  HORIZONTAL_CENTER = WEST + WIDTH/2
     *    VERTICAL_CENTER = NORTH + HEIGHT/2
     *  ABSOLUTE_BASELINE = NORTH + RELATIVE_BASELINE*
     * </pre>
     * <p>
     * For example, if you have specified the WIDTH and WEST (X) location
     * the EAST is calculated as WEST + WIDTH.  If you instead specified
     * the WIDTH and EAST locations the WEST (X) location is then calculated
     * as EAST - WIDTH.
     * <p>
     * [RELATIVE_BASELINE is a private constraint that is set automatically when
     * the SpringLayout.Constraints(Component) constructor is called or when
     * a constraints object is registered with a SpringLayout object.]
     * <p>
     * <b>Note</b>: In this document,
     * operators represent methods
     * in the <code>Spring</code> class.
     * For example, "a + b" is equal to
     * <code>Spring.sum(a, b)</code>,
     * and "a - b" is equal to
     * <code>Spring.sum(a, Spring.minus(b))</code>.
     * See the
     * {@link Spring Spring API documentation}
     * for further details
     * of spring arithmetic.
     *
     * <p>
     *
     * Because a <code>Constraints</code> object's properties --
     * representing its edges, size, and location -- can all be set
     * independently and yet are interrelated,
     * a <code>Constraints</code> object can become <em>over-constrained</em>.
     * For example, if the <code>WEST</code>, <code>WIDTH</code> and
     * <code>EAST</code> edges are all set, steps must be taken to ensure that
     * the first of the formulas above holds.  To do this, the
     * <code>Constraints</code>
     * object throws away the <em>least recently set</em>
     * constraint so as to make the formulas hold.
