Description Yury Semikhatsky CLA 2006-06-05 04:47:28 EDT 
AbstractLayout.getPreferredSize(IFigure container, int wHint, int hHint) calls calculatePreferredSize with hints passed as parameters. The first evaluated value is cached. Next time method is called the cached value will be returned regardless of passed hints. It seems better to call calculatePreferredSize with fixed hints -1, -1 or not to cache calculated size.

If the calculation depends on the hints, you should subclass AbstractHintLayout.
