Constants

SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED

public final static int SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED

The width a vertical scrollbar would occupy, regardless of whether it's shown or not.

getViewportSize

public Dimension getViewportSize()

Returns

The size of the ScrollPane's port (the area of the child component that is shown).
