What is the preferred size of a component?..

Answer / ranganathkini

When frames or containers are designed using layout
managers, each layout manager imposes certain rules on how
the components within the container must be placed and
sized. Components cannot impose their required size on the
layout manager hence they use the "preferred size" attribute
to suggest to the layout manager of what wud be the ideal
size/location to display them.

The layout manager looks at the preferred size requested by
the components while laying them out in the container. If
the preferred size can be given to the component without
violating the layout manager's rules then the layout manager
uses the preferred size for that component.

Answer / dhanashree

The minimum size of the component, enough to display its label is known as preferred size of the component. For example, the button size should display its label with platform-specific decoration like dotted lines around the label etc. The FlowLayout manager gives the preferred size to a component.
