## edu.stanford.smi.protege.widget
Class DefaultWidgetLayoutStrategy

    java.lang.Object
      edu.stanford.smi.protege.widget.DefaultWidgetLayoutStrategy

All Implemented Interfaces:
  WidgetLayoutStrategy

    public class DefaultWidgetLayoutStrategy

extends Object
implements WidgetLayoutStrategy

This class determines the default layout of a form. The original idea was that users could plug in other layouts but I never implemented this and no one has ever asked for it.
The heuristic used for laying out forms is first that strings should come first and then other "small things". "Big things" (such as list boxes) come last. All items are thus grouped by cardinality and then type. This algorithm seems to do a decent job at organizing a form in a reasonable fashion. The implementation of this algorithm is partially delegated to the `SlotWidgetComparer` which "sorts" the widgets.
