Description Stefan Tucker CLA 2008-06-27 14:41:01 EDT 
Build ID: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
I'd like to use GraphContainer, but do something different for open() and close(). I can override those methods, but I cannot reduce the size of the container. computerContainerSize() is private and can't be overridden, and the constants it uses for minimum height and width cannot be changed.

Here is the relevant code:

private static final int MIN_WIDTH = 250;

private ContainerDimension computeContainerSize()
{
...
	if (labelWidth < MIN_WIDTH) {
		labelWidth = MIN_WIDTH;
		expandGraphLabel.setPreferredSize(labelWidth, labelHeight);
		}
	if (labelHeight < 30) {
		labelHeight = 30;
	}
...
}

It would also be useful to be able to access the private expandGraphLabel member, but that wouldn't be necessary if the GraphContainer's open and close methods handled the common actions (such as setting the expanded state) and then called an overridable function to do the customizable stuff.
