I'm looking for some information about layout, are there any totorials out
there or explainations of all the different types of layouts?
My sepecific problem is that I would like to have a layout that supports a
several figures similar to the ToolbarLayout. Each of the child figures
being labels, except for the last child. The last child I would like to use
the XYLayout and support its own children.
The problem I am seeing is that the parent ToobarLayout is setting the last
child's height to zero. I would prefer the layout to set the height of the
last child to the height of the rest of the parent figure.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

The height is still zero.
The parent constructor now contains the following layout manager code:
ToolbarLayout layout = new ToolbarLayout();
layout.setStretchMinorAxis( true );
setLayoutManager( layout );
The child constructor contains the following layout manager code:
XYLayout layout = new XYLayout();
setLayoutManager( layout );
I am using the child figure's getClientArea() to obtain the rectangle for
the child figure in a createAddCommand in my LayouEditPolicy derived class.
The goal is to make sure the node being dragged into this child is fully
contained by this child before allowing the user to drop the node.

I think the default orientation is vertical, right? So the width would be
stretched in that case. If the continer with XYLayout has no children, its
preferred size will be 0,0 unless you make it otherwise. You might try
calling setMinimumSize, but I don't think it is called in this case, so
you'll have to set the preferredSize to a fixed value, or override it to
make sure it is at least some dimension.

Right, my first inclination was to override the behavior of the child
figure's getPreferredSize(). In getPreferredSize() I should set the
preferred height to the difference of the current to of the child figure,
and the bottom of the parent figure. However, this did not seem like the
correct place to be make this decision.
Isn't it more correct to have a layout manager perform this calculation?
Should I derive a new layout manager from the ToolbarLayout, and override
the layout() operation?

It seems like more work than just:
class MyFigure {
static Dimension MIN_SIZE = new Dimension(100,100);
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return super.getPreferredSize().getUnioned(MIN_SIZE);
}
}
