<p>
Flow panes arrange components in a horizontal line, wrapping when the contents don't
fit on a single line. Components may be horizontally aligned to left, right, or center
when there is space left over within a given line, and may optionally be vertically
aligned by to their baselines.
</p>
<p>
The following example demonstrates the use of the <tt>FlowPane</tt> container. The
buttons on the right can be used to modify the alignment properties. A
<tt>BaselineDecorator</tt> is used to highlight the flow pane's baseline. This
decorator draws a red line across a component's baseline. If the component does not
have a baseline, it draws a blue line across the component's vertical midpoint:
