AUTO any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL okay -

AUTO any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL wrong LayoutManager cannot compute the auto value.

PIXEL any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL potentially wrong The values depend on each other, the programmer has to keep consistency manually.

PIXEL any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL okay -

PROPORTIONAL any combination of AUTO or PIXEL but no PROPORTIONAL potentially wrong No automatic matching:
too little space: scroll bar

too much space: elements will be spread.

PROPORTIONAL any combination with at least one PROPORTIONAL okay -
