    Layout management is the process of determining the size and position of 
    user interface elements. By default, each <type>Frame</type> has a layout 
    manager -- it performs layout management for the user interface elements 
    within the frame. User interface elements can provide size and alignment 
    hints to layout managers, but layout managers have the final decision on 
    the size and position of those user interface elements.
