public Float getPushX()
```
    "pushx" indicates that the column that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other column has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the column's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.
    If multiple components in a column has push weights set the largest one will be used for the column.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current push value. Default is null.
  - setPushX
```

    "pushx" indicates that the column that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other column has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the column's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.
    If multiple components in a column has push weights set the largest one will be used for the column.
    
    Parameters:
    
    weight - The new push value. Default is null.
  - getPushY

```
    "pushx" indicates that the row that this component is in (this first if the component spans) should default to growing. If any other row has been set to grow this push value on the component does nothing as the row's explicit grow weight will take precedence. Push is normally used when the grid has not been defined in the layout.
    If multiple components in a row has push weights set the largest one will be used for the row.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current push value. Default is null.

    weight - The new push value. Default is null.
  - getSplit
```
public int getSplit()

    Returns in how many parts the current cell (that this constraint's component will be in) should be split in. If for instance it is split in two, the next component will also share the same cell. Note that the cell can also span a number of cells, which means that you can for instance span three cells and split that big cell for two components. Split can be set to a very high value to make all components in the same row/column share the same cell (e.g. LayoutUtil.INF).
    Note that only the first component will be checked for this property.

    Returns:
    
    The current value.
  - setSplit
```
public void setSplit(int parts)
```
    Sets in how many parts the current cell (that this constraint's component will be in) should be split in. If for instance it is split in two, the next component will also share the same cell. Note that the cell can also span a number of cells, which means that you can for instance span three cells and split that big cell for two components. Split can be set to a very high value to make all components in the same row/column share the same cell (e.g. LayoutUtil.INF).
    Note that only the first component will be checked for this property.

    Parameters:
    
    parts - The number of parts (i.e. component slots) the cell should be divided into.
  - getTag
```
public String getTag()
```
    Tags the component with metadata. Currently only used to tag buttons with for instance "cancel" or "ok" to make them show up in the correct order depending on platform. See PlatformDefaults.setButtonOrder(String) for information.

    Returns:
    
    The current value. May be null.
  - setTag
```
public void setTag(String tag)
```
    Optional tag that gives more context to this constraint's component. It is for instance used to tag buttons in a button bar with the button type such as "ok", "help" or "cancel".

    Parameters:
    
    tag - The new tag. May be null.
  - isWrap
```
public boolean isWrap()
```
    Returns if the flow should wrap to the next line/column after the component that this constraint belongs to.

    Returns:
    
    The current value.
  - setWrap
```
public void setWrap(boolean b)
```
    Sets if the flow should wrap to the next line/column after the component that this constraint belongs to.
    For a more thorough explanation of what this constraint does see the white paper or cheat Sheet at www.migcomponents.com.
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - true means wrap after.
  - getWrapGapSize
```
public BoundSize getWrapGapSize()
```
    Returns the wrap size if it is a custom size. If wrap was set to true with setWrap(boolean) then this method will return null since that means that the gap size should be the default one as defined in the rows spec.
    
    Returns:
    
    The custom gap size. NOTE! Will return null for both no wrap and default wrap.
    
    Since:
    
    2.4.2
    
    See Also:
    
    isWrap(), setWrap(boolean)
  - setWrapGapSize
```
public void setWrapGapSize(BoundSize s)
```
    Set the wrap size and turns wrap on if != null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - The custom gap size. NOTE! null will not turn on or off wrap, it will only set the wrap gap size to "default". A non-null value will turn on wrap though.
    
    Since:
    
    2.4.2
    
    See Also:
    
    isWrap(), setWrap(boolean)
  - isNewline
```
public boolean isNewline()
```
    Returns if the flow should wrap to the next line/column before the component that this constraint belongs to.
    For a more thorough explanation of what this constraint does see the white paper or cheat Sheet at www.migcomponents.com.
    
    Returns:
    
    The current value.
  - setNewline
```
public void setNewline(boolean b)
```
    Sets if the flow should wrap to the next line/column before the component that this constraint belongs to.
    For a more thorough explanation of what this constraint does see the white paper or cheat Sheet at www.migcomponents.com.
    
    Parameters:
    
    b - true means wrap before.
  - getNewlineGapSize
```
public BoundSize getNewlineGapSize()
```
    Returns the newline size if it is a custom size. If newline was set to true with setNewline(boolean) then this method will return null since that means that the gap size should be the default one as defined in the rows spec.
    
    Returns:
    
    The custom gap size. NOTE! Will return null for both no newline and default newline.
    
    Since:
    
    2.4.2
    
    See Also:
    
    isNewline(), setNewline(boolean)
  - setNewlineGapSize
```
public void setNewlineGapSize(BoundSize s)
```
    Set the newline size and turns newline on if != null.
    
    Parameters:
    
    s - The custom gap size. NOTE! null will not turn on or off newline, it will only set the newline gap size to "default". A non-null value will turn on newline though.
    
    Since:
    
    2.4.2
    
    See Also:
    
    isNewline(), setNewline(boolean)
  - getAnimSpec
```
public AnimSpec getAnimSpec()
```
    Returns the animation spec. Default is a spec where animation is off (prio 0).
    
    Returns:
    
    Never null.
  - readExternal
```
public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException,
                         ClassNotFoundException
```
    Specified by:
    
    readExternal in interface Externalizable
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
    
    ClassNotFoundException
  - writeExternal
```
public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException
```
    Specified by:
    
    writeExternal in interface Externalizable
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
