| * for computing heights. These flags are used for optimization. Each flag gives the part more control |
| * over its preferred size but slows down the layout algorithm. Parts should return the minimum set |
| * of flags necessary to specify their constraints. |
| * <p> |
| * If the return value of this function ever changes, the part must call <code>flushLayout</code> before |
| * the changes will take effect. |

| * <ul> |
| * <li>SWT.MAX: The part has a maximum size that will be returned by computePreferredSize(horizontal, |

| * <li>SWT.MIN: The part has a minimum size that will be returned by computePreferredSize(horizontal, |
| * INFINITE, someWidth, 0)</li> |
| * <li>SWT.WRAP: Indicates that computePreferredSize makes use of the availablePerpendicular argument. If this |
| * flag is not specified, then the third argument to computePreferredSize will always be set to |
| * INFINITE. The perpendicular size is expensive to compute, and it is usually only used |
| * for wrapping parts. |
| * <li>SWT.FILL: The part may not return the preferred size verbatim when computePreferredSize is |
| * is given a value between the minimum and maximum sizes. This is commonly used if the part |
| * wants to use a set of predetermined sizes instead of using the workbench-provided size. |
| * For example, computePreferredSize(horizontal, availableSpace, someWidth, |
| * preferredSize) may return the nearest predetermined size. Note that this flag should |
| * be used sparingly. It can prevent layout caching and cause the workbench layout algorithm |
| * to degrade to exponential worst-case runtime. If this flag is omitted, then |
| * computePreferredSize may be used to compute the minimum and maximum sizes, but not for |
| * anything in between.</li> |

| * <p> |
| * Returns the best size for this part, given the available width and height and the workbench's |
| * preferred size for the part. Parts can overload this to enforce a minimum size, maximum size, |
| * or a quantized set of preferred sizes. If width == true, this method computes a width in pixels. |
| * If width == false, this method computes a height. availableParallel and availablePerpendicular |
| * contain the space available, and preferredParallel contains the preferred result. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * This method returns an answer that is less than or equal to availableParallel and as |
| * close to preferredParallel as possible. Return values larger than availableParallel will |
| * be truncated. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * Most presentations will define a minimum size at all times, and a maximum size that only applies |
| * when maximized. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * The getSizeFlags method controls how frequently this method will be called and what information |
| * will be available when it is. Any subclass that specializes this method should also specialize |
| * getSizeFlags. computePreferredSize(width, INFINITE, someSize, 0) returns |
| * the minimum size of the control (if any). computePreferredSize(width, INFINITE, someSize, |
| * INFINITE) returns the maximum size of the control. |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * <p> |
| * Examples: |
| * <ul> |
| * <li>To maintain a constant size of 100x300 pixels: {return width ? 100 : 300}, getSizeFlags(boolean) must |
| * return SWT.MIN | SWT.MAX</li> |
| * <li>To grow without constraints: {return preferredResult;}, getSizeFlags(boolean) must return 0.</li> |
| * <li>To enforce a width that is always a multiple of 100 pixels, to a minimum of 100 pixels: |
| * <code> |
| * { |
| * if (width && preferredResult != INFINITE) { |
| * int result = preferredResult - ((preferredResult + 50) % 100) + 50; |
| * result = Math.max(100, Math.min(result, availableParallel - (availableParallel % 100))); |
| * |
| * return result; |
| * } |
| * return preferredResult; |
| * } |
| * </code> |
| * In this case, getSizeFlags(boolean width) must return (width ? SWT.FILL | SWT.MIN: 0) |
| * </ul> |
| * <li>To maintain a minimum area of 100000 pixels: |
| * <code> |
| * {return availablePerpendicular < 100 ? 1000 : 100000 / availablePerpendicular;} |
| * </code> |
| * getSizeFlags(boolean width) must return SWT.WRAP | SWT.MIN; |
| * </li> |
| * </p> |
| * |
| * @param width indicates whether a width (=true) or a height (=false) is being computed |
| * @param availableParallel available space. This is a width (pixels) if width == true, and a height (pixels) |
| * if width == false. A return value larger than this will be ignored. |
| * @param availablePerpendicular available space perpendicular to the direction being measured |
| * or INFINITE if unbounded (pixels). This |
| * is a height if width == true, or a height if width == false. Implementations will generally ignore this |
| * argument unless they contain wrapping widgets. Note this argument will only contain meaningful information |
| * if the part returns the SWT.WRAP flag from getSizeFlags(width) |
| * @param preferredResult preferred size of the control (pixels, <= availableParallel). Set to |
| * INFINITE if unknown or unbounded. |
| * @return returns the preferred size of the control (pixels). This is a width if width == true or a height |
| * if width == false. Callers are responsible for rounding down the return value if it is larger than |
| * availableParallel. If availableParallel is INFINITE, then a return value of INFINITE |
| * is permitted, indicating that the preferred size of the control is unbounded. |
