All Implemented Interfaces:

ImageObserver, MenuContainer, Serializable, Accessible
```
public class JSplitPane
extends JComponent
implements Accessible
```
JSplitPane is used to divide two (and only two) Components. The two Components are graphically divided based on the look and feel implementation, and the two Components can then be interactively resized by the user. Information on using JSplitPane is in How to Use Split Panes in The Java Tutorial.
The two Components in a split pane can be aligned left to right using JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, or top to bottom using JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT. The preferred way to change the size of the Components is to invoke setDividerLocation where location is either the new x or y position, depending on the orientation of the JSplitPane.

To resize the Components to their preferred sizes invoke resetToPreferredSizes.

When the user is resizing the Components the minimum size of the Components is used to determine the maximum/minimum position the Components can be set to. If the minimum size of the two components is greater than the size of the split pane the divider will not allow you to resize it. To alter the minimum size of a JComponent, see JComponent.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension).

When the user resizes the split pane the new space is distributed between the two components based on the resizeWeight property. A value of 0, the default, indicates the right/bottom component gets all the space, where as a value of 1 indicates the left/top component gets all the space.

Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans™ has been added to the java.beans package. Please see XMLEncoder.

Specifically, the left/top component gets (weight * diff) extra space and the right/bottom component gets (1 - weight) * diff extra space.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value - as described above
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if value is < 0 or > 1
    
    Since:
    
    1.3
  - getResizeWeight
```
public double getResizeWeight()
```
    Returns the number that determines how extra space is distributed.
    
    Returns:
    
    how extra space is to be distributed on a resize of the split pane
    
    Since:
    
    1.3
  - resetToPreferredSizes
```
public void resetToPreferredSizes()
```
    Lays out the JSplitPane layout based on the preferred size of the children components. This will likely result in changing the divider location.
  - setDividerLocation
```
public void setDividerLocation(double proportionalLocation)
```
    Sets the divider location as a percentage of the JSplitPane's size.
    This method is implemented in terms of setDividerLocation(int). This method immediately changes the size of the split pane based on its current size. If the split pane is not correctly realized and on screen, this method will have no effect (new divider location will become (current size * proportionalLocation) which is 0).
    
    Parameters:
    
    proportionalLocation - a double-precision floating point value that specifies a percentage, from zero (top/left) to 1.0 (bottom/right)
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the specified location is < 0 or > 1.0
  - setDividerLocation
```
public void setDividerLocation(int location)
```
    Sets the location of the divider. This is passed off to the look and feel implementation, and then listeners are notified. A value less than 0 implies the divider should be reset to a value that attempts to honor the preferred size of the left/top component. After notifying the listeners, the last divider location is updated, via setLastDividerLocation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    location - an int specifying a UI-specific value (typically a pixel count)
  - getDividerLocation
```
public int getDividerLocation()
```
    Returns the last value passed to setDividerLocation. The value returned from this method may differ from the actual divider location (if setDividerLocation was passed a value bigger than the current size).
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer specifying the location of the divider
  - getMinimumDividerLocation
```
public int getMinimumDividerLocation()
```
    Returns the minimum location of the divider from the look and feel implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer specifying a UI-specific value for the minimum location (typically a pixel count); or -1 if the UI is null
  - getMaximumDividerLocation
```
public int getMaximumDividerLocation()
```
    Returns the maximum location of the divider from the look and feel implementation.
    
    Returns:
    
    an integer specifying a UI-specific value for the maximum location (typically a pixel count); or -1 if the UI is null
  - remove
```
public void remove(Component component)
```
    Removes the child component, component from the pane. Resets the leftComponent or rightComponent instance variable, as necessary.
    
    Overrides:
    
    remove in class Container
    
    Parameters:
    
    component - the Component to remove
    
    See Also:
    
    Container.add(java.awt.Component), Container.invalidate(), Container.validate(), Container.remove(int)
  - remove
```
public void remove(int index)
```
    Removes the Component at the specified index. Updates the leftComponent and rightComponent instance variables as necessary, and then messages super.
    
    Overrides:
    
    remove in class Container
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - an integer specifying the component to remove, where 1 specifies the left/top component and 2 specifies the bottom/right component
    
    See Also:
    
    Container.add(java.awt.Component), Container.invalidate(), Container.validate(), Container.getComponentCount()
  - removeAll
```
public void removeAll()
```
    Removes all the child components from the split pane. Resets the leftComonent and rightComponent instance variables.
    
    Overrides:
    
    removeAll in class Container
    
    See Also:
    
    Container.add(java.awt.Component), Container.remove(int), Container.invalidate()
  - isValidateRoot
```
public boolean isValidateRoot()
```
    Returns true, so that calls to revalidate on any descendant of this JSplitPane will cause a request to be queued that will validate the JSplitPane and all its descendants.
    
    Overrides:
    
    isValidateRoot in class JComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    true

    JComponent.revalidate(), Container.isValidateRoot()
  - addImpl
```
protected void addImpl(Component comp,
                       Object constraints,
                       int index)
```
    Adds the specified component to this split pane. If constraints identifies the left/top or right/bottom child component, and a component with that identifier was previously added, it will be removed and then comp will be added in its place. If constraints is not one of the known identifiers the layout manager may throw an IllegalArgumentException.
    The possible constraints objects (Strings) are:
    - JSplitPane.TOP
    - JSplitPane.LEFT
    - JSplitPane.BOTTOM
    - JSplitPane.RIGHT
    If the constraints object is null, the component is added in the first available position (left/top if open, else right/bottom).
    Overrides:
    
    addImpl in class Container
    
    Parameters:
    
    comp - the component to add
    
    constraints - an Object specifying the layout constraints (position) for this component
    
    index - an integer specifying the index in the container's list.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the constraints object does not match an existing component
    
    See Also:
    
    Container.addImpl(Component, Object, int)
  - paintChildren

    paramString in class JComponent
    
    Returns:
    
    a string representation of this JSplitPane.
  - getAccessibleContext
```
public AccessibleContext getAccessibleContext()
```
    Gets the AccessibleContext associated with this JSplitPane. For split panes, the AccessibleContext takes the form of an AccessibleJSplitPane. A new AccessibleJSplitPane instance is created if necessary.
