It +is conceptually similar to the AspectFrame, but attempts to not waste space on +padding. AspectBin is primarily intended for games that have an aspect +constrained playing area with status information on the side. Some of the +problems that AspectBin attempts to solve are: + + * A square playing area centred vertically in the window, with status + information to the right, aligned with the top of the playing area. + * Status information centred horizontally in the space remaining to the right + of a playing area. -- 2.43.0
