The setTabLayoutPolicy method in the javax.swing.JTabbedPane class is used to set the tab layout policy for arranging tabs within the tabbed pane. The tab layout policy determines how tabs are laid out when there is not enough space to display all tabs. There are two possible options for the tab layout policy: JTabbedPane.WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT and JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT.
- JTabbedPane.WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT: This policy wraps the tabs to multiple rows when there is not enough space to display them in a single row. It allows all tabs to be visible but may require scrolling horizontally to access the extra tabs.
- JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT: This policy uses scrolling to display tabs when there is not enough space to show them all. It adds scroll buttons to navigate through the tab list horizontally, allowing the user to access the hidden tabs.
By using the setTabLayoutPolicy method and specifying either WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT or SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT, developers can control how the tabs are arranged when the available space is limited in a JTabbedPane component.
