/*Constructor Purpose
FlowLayout()
Constructs a new FlowLayout object with a centered alignment and
horizontal and vertical gaps with the default size of 5 pixels.
FlowLayout(int align)
Creates a new flow layout manager with the indicated alignment
and horizontal and vertical gaps with the default size of 5 pixels.
The alignment argument can be FlowLayout.LEADING,
FlowLayout.CENTER, or FlowLayout.TRAILING.
When the FlowLayout object controls a container with a left-to right component
orientation (the default), the LEADING value specifies the components
to be left-aligned and the TRAILING value specifies the components to be right-aligned.
FlowLayout (int align, int hgap, int vgap)
Creates a new flow layout manager with the indicated alignment and
the indicated horizontal and vertical gaps.
The hgap and vgap arguments specify the number of pixels to put between components.*/
