- Method Detail
  - getDescription
```
String getDescription()
```
    The description of the layout algorithm purpose.
    
    Returns:
    
    a description snippet for the algorithm
  - getIcon
```
Icon getIcon()
```
    The icon that represents the layout action.
    
    Returns:
    
    a icon for this particular layout
  - getSimplePanel
```
JPanel getSimplePanel(Layout layout)
```
    A LayoutUI can have a optional settings panel, that will be displayed instead of the property sheet.
    
    Parameters:
    
    layout - the layout that require a simple panel
    
    Returns:
    
    A simple settings panel for layout or null
  - getQualityRank
```
int getQualityRank()
```
    An appraisal of quality for this algorithm. The rank must be between 1 and 5. The rank will be displayed tousers to help them to choose a suitable algorithm. Return -1 if you don't want to display a rank.
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer between 1 and 5 or -1 if you don't want to show a rank
  - getSpeedRank
```
int getSpeedRank()
```
    An appraisal of speed for this algorithm. The rank must be between 1 and 5. The rank will be displayed tousers to help them to choose a suitable algorithm. Return -1 if you don't want to display a rank.
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer between 1 and 5 or -1 if you don't want to show a rank
