/**
* This LayoutManager arranges the components into a column. Components are
* always given their preferred size.
*
* When you create a ColumnLayout, you may specify four values: margin_height --
* how much space to leave on top and bottom margin_width -- how much space to
* leave on left and right spacing -- how much vertical space to leave between
* items alignment -- the horizontal position of the components:
* ColumnLayout.LEFT -- left-justify the components ColumnLayout.CENTER --
* horizontally center the components ColumnLayout.RIGHT -- right-justify the
* components
*
* You never call the methods of a ColumnLayout object. Just create one and make
* it the layout manager for your container by passing it to the addLayout()
* method of the Container object.
