Hi all,
I am developing a table-like application, there are 3 types of figures:
Table, Column, and Cell. Table and Column are using ToolbarLayout as
layout manager, the Table figure is in fact the diagram, I can dynamically
add some cells into the column. Now I have some problem about the Column
figure's size.

I want Column figure's height to be the sum of its children(Cells).
Currently, I give every cell figure a minimumSize and a preferredSize,
they are same value, and I refresh column's preferredSize to (100,-1),
which works quite well, because I think the minimum size of cells prevent
column to be too small. But when the columns get higher, the editor does
not show a vertical scroll bar, unless I set column's preferredSize to
some taller value.

I failed to trace how they work, because so many calls occured, and
sometimes they call each other, I am totally confused.

I don't understand the relationship between preferredSize and minimumSize
well, seems like the sizes are cached? When should I call
setPreferredSize() or setMinimumSize() to change child/container's size,
and when should I override them in my figure, and when should I implement
a custom layout?

And, What are the complete factors determing any figure's final bound?
Such as its layout's getPreferredSize(), getMinimumSize(), and what else?

Sincerely
Hao

This screenshot may help to describe my problem.
I expect a vertical scrollbar on the right side of editor.
