Class LayeredLayout

java.lang.Object
  com.sun.lwuit.layouts.Layout
      com.sun.lwuit.layouts.LayeredLayout

public class LayeredLayout
extends Layout

Allows placing components one on top of the other like a stack, this layout effectively allows us to build a UI of overlapping components. The components may be containers with their own layout managers to allow elaborate arbitrary looks. Since the Z-ordering creates a great deal of complexity and inefficiency it is recommended that you first try to achieve the desired UI without resorting to this layout or coordinate layout.
