public class SplitPane extends Container

A Split Pane component.

A split pane can either be horizontal or vertical, and provides a draggable divider between two components. If the `#orientation` is `#HORIZONTAL_SPLIT`, then the child components will be laid out horizontally (side by side with a vertical bar as a divider). If the `#orientation` is `#VERTICAL_SPLIT`, then the components are laid out vertically (one above the other.

The bar divider bar includes arrows to collapse and expand the divider also.

Splitpane UI

The following is an example of a UI that is built around a split pane. This has an outer "horizontal" split pane, and the left side has a vertical split pane.

    ###### Parameters

    - `cmp`: The component to place on the right.

  - ### getTopOrLeftComponent

    public Component getTopOrLeftComponent()
    Gets the component that is currently placed in the top or left of the split pane.

  - ### getTop

    public Component getTop()
    Gets the component that is currently placed in the top of the split pane.

  - ### setTop

    public void setTop(Component cmp)

    Sets the component that should be placed in the top section of the split pane.

    ###### Parameters

    - `cmp`: The component to place on top.

  - ### getLeft

    public Component getLeft()
    Gets the component that is currently placed in the left of the split pane.

  - ### setLeft

    public void setLeft(Component cmp)

    Sets the component that should be placed in the left section of the split pane.

    ###### Parameters

    - `cmp`: The component to place on the left.

  - ### toggleCollapsePreferred

    public void toggleCollapsePreferred()
    Toggles the split pane between collapsed state and preferred state. E.g. If the inset is currently not collapsed, it will collapse it. If it is collapsed, it will open to the last position that the user selected.

  - ### toggleExpandPreferred

    public void toggleExpandPreferred()
    Toggles the split pane between expanded state and preferred state. E.g. If the inset is currently expanded, then it will be moved to the last position that the user selected. If it is not expanded, it will expand it all the way.

  - ### expand

    public void expand()
    Expands the split pane. If it is currently completely collapsed, it will transition to the preferred position. If it is in the preferred position, it will expand all the way.

  - ### expand

    public void expand(boolean force)

    Expands the split pane. It will either expand it to the preferred position, or the maximum position depending on the value of the force parameter.

    ###### Parameters

    - `force`: @param force If this is true, then it will only expand "all the way". It will skip the preferred position if it is currently in collapsed state.

  - ### collapse

    public void collapse()
    Collapses the aplit pane. If it is currently expanded, then it will shift to the preferred posiiton. If it is already in the preferred position, it will collapse all the way to the minimum position.

  - ### collapse

    public void collapse(boolean force)

    Collapses the split pane.

    ###### Parameters

    - `force`: True to force it to collapse to minimum position (skipping preferred position if it is in expanded state).

  - ### setInset

    public void setInset(String inset, boolean clamp)

    Sets the inset of the divider explicitly. This The inset is measured from the top for vertical split panes and the left for horizontal split panes. Setting this to "50%" will move the divider to the middle point. Setting it to "0" would set it all the way to the left/top. This will clamp the value at the minimum and maximum offsets if clamp is true.

    ###### Parameters

    - `inset`

    - `clamp`: True to clamp the inset to prevent it from running off the page.

  - ### setInset

    public void setInset(String inset)

    Sets the inset of the divider explicitly. This The inset is measured from the top for vertical split panes and the left for horizontal split panes. Setting this to "50%" will move the divider to the middle point. Setting it to "0" would set it all the way to the left/top. This will clamp the value at the minimum and maximum offsets.

    ###### Parameters

    - `inset`

  - ### getPreferredInset

    public String getPreferredInset()

    Gets the string value of the preferred inset. E.g. "25mm", or "50%". Note: The preferred inset is changed automatically when the user drags it to a new location so the value returned here may be different than the inset supplied in the constructor.

    ###### Returns

    The current preferred inset of the divider.

  - ### setPreferredInset

    public void setPreferredInset(String inset)

    Sets the preferred inset of this split pane. The preferred inset will be automatically changed whenever the user explicitly moves the divider to a new position.

    ###### Parameters

    - `inset`: The inset. E.g. "2mm", "25%", "200px".

  - ### getMinInset

    public String getMinInset()
    Gets the string value of the minimum inset of the divider. E.g. "25mm", or "50%".

  - ### setMinInset

    public void setMinInset(String inset)

    Sets the minimum inset allowed for the divider.

    ###### Parameters

    - `inset`: The inset. E.g. "2mm", "10%", "200px"

  - ### getMaxInset

    public String getMaxInset()
    Gets the string value of the maximum inset of the divider. E.g. "25mm", or "50%"

  - ### setMaxInset

    public void setMaxInset(String inset)

    Sets the maximum inset allowed for the divider.

    ###### Parameters

    - `inset`: The inset. E.g. "2mm", "10%", "200px"
