<h1>Other Resources</h1>
<p>Back in 2000, I started thinking about creating a table layout manager
that would be as easy-to-use as HTML tables. I looked on the internet
for existing solutions and found several. One I particularly liked had
a user interface quite similar to the TableLayout I provide. However,
it had subtle bugs which were not easy to fix given the existing architecture.
This caused me to write my own version from scratch while retaining
many of its good UI ideas.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I no longer have a pointer to that TableLayout or the
author who wrote it. I found a <a href="http://www.squarebox.co.uk/download/table.html">version</a> that has an interface similar
to mine and may have been the original inspiration, although I cannot
verify it.</p>
<p>My version of TableLayout appears now through the courtesy of <a href="http://www.credence.com/">Credence
Systems Corporation</a>, who holds the copyright and has allowed me to release
the code under the Artistic License.</p>
<p>The most well-known <a href="http://www.clearthought.info/software/TableLayout/">TableLayout</a> is
written by Daniel Barbalace. I've used this version, but I dislike its
approach of having to define row widths and column heights in advance.
As I recall, if you want row or column gaps, these had to be treated
as empty rows and columns.</p>
<p>My TableLayout is for lazier designers: Other
than specifying the number of columns, you can decide on additional
settings as you add components. Row and column gaps, which I
use often and which I almost always want to be a consistent size, can
be set with two simple attributes specified when the layout manager is
created.</p>
<p>There are many other TableLayout managers. Obviously a lot of people
had the same idea! Rather than try to list all others, I suggest you
do a Google search.</p>
