/**
 * <code>JLayeredPane</code> adds depth to a JFC/Swing container,
 * allowing components to overlap each other when needed.
 * An <code>Integer</code> object specifies each component's depth in the
 * container, where higher-numbered components sit &quot;on top&quot; of other
 * components.
 * For task-oriented documentation and examples of using layered panes see
 * <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/layeredpane.html">How to Use a Layered Pane</a>,
 * a section in <em>The Java Tutorial</em>.

 * </TR>
 * </TABLE>
 * For convenience, <code>JLayeredPane</code> divides the depth-range
 * into several different layers. Putting a component into one of those
 * layers makes it easy to ensure that components overlap properly,
 * without having to worry about specifying numbers for specific depths:
 * <DL>
 *    <DT>DEFAULT_LAYER</DT>
 *         <DD>The standard layer, where most components go. This the bottommost
 *         layer.
 *    <DT>PALETTE_LAYER</DT>
 *         <DD>The palette layer sits over the default layer. Useful for floating
 *         toolbars and palettes, so they can be positioned above other components.
 *    <DT>MODAL_LAYER</DT>
 *         <DD>The layer used for modal dialogs. They will appear on top of any
 *         toolbars, palettes, or standard components in the container.
 *    <DT>POPUP_LAYER</DT>
 *         <DD>The popup layer displays above dialogs. That way, the popup windows
 *         associated with combo boxes, tooltips, and other help text will appear
 *         above the component, palette, or dialog that generated them.
 *    <DT>DRAG_LAYER</DT>
 *         <DD>When dragging a component, reassigning it to the drag layer ensures
 *         that it is positioned over every other component in the container. When
 *         finished dragging, it can be reassigned to its normal layer.
 * </DL>
 * The <code>JLayeredPane</code> methods <code>moveToFront(Component)</code>,
 * <code>moveToBack(Component)</code> and <code>setPosition</code> can be used
 * to reposition a component within its layer. The <code>setLayer</code> method
 * can also be used to change the component's current layer.
 *
 * <h2>Details</h2>
 * <code>JLayeredPane</code> manages its list of children like
 * <code>Container</code>, but allows for the definition of a several
 * layers within itself. Children in the same layer are managed exactly
 * like the normal <code>Container</code> object,
 * with the added feature that when children components overlap, children
 * in higher layers display above the children in lower layers.
 * <p>
 * Each layer is a distinct integer number. The layer attribute can be set
 * on a <code>Component</code> by passing an <code>Integer</code>
 * object during the add call.<br> For example:
 * <PRE>
 *     layeredPane.add(child, JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
 * or
 *     layeredPane.add(child, Integer.valueOf.valueOf(10));
 * </PRE>
 * The layer attribute can also be set on a Component by calling<PRE>
 *     layeredPaneParent.setLayer(child, 10)</PRE>
 * on the <code>JLayeredPane</code> that is the parent of component. The layer
 * should be set <i>before</i> adding the child to the parent.
 * <p>
 * Higher number layers display above lower number layers. So, using
 * numbers for the layers and letters for individual components, a
 * representative list order would look like this:<PRE>
 *       5a, 5b, 5c, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a </PRE>
 * where the leftmost components are closest to the top of the display.
 * <p>
 * A component can be moved to the top or bottom position within its
 * layer by calling <code>moveToFront</code> or <code>moveToBack</code>.
 * <p>
 * The position of a component within a layer can also be specified directly.
 * Valid positions range from 0 up to one less than the number of
 * components in that layer. A value of -1 indicates the bottommost
 * position. A value of 0 indicates the topmost position. Unlike layer
 * numbers, higher position values are <i>lower</i> in the display.
 * <blockquote>
 * <b>Note:</b> This sequence (defined by java.awt.Container) is the reverse
 * of the layer numbering sequence. Usually though, you will use <code>moveToFront</code>,
 * <code>moveToBack</code>, and <code>setLayer</code>.
 * </blockquote>
 * Here are some examples using the method add(Component, layer, position):
 * Calling add(5x, 5, -1) results in:<PRE>
 *       5a, 5b, 5c, 5x, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a </PRE>
 *
 * Calling add(5z, 5, 2) results in:<PRE>
 *       5a, 5b, 5z, 5c, 5x, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a </PRE>
 *
 * Calling add(3a, 3, 7) results in:<PRE>
 *       5a, 5b, 5z, 5c, 5x, 3a, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a </PRE>
 *
 * Using normal paint/event mechanics results in 1a appearing at the bottom
 * and 5a being above all other components.
 * <p>
 * <b>Note:</b> that these layers are simply a logical construct and LayoutManagers
 * will affect all child components of this container without regard for
 * layer settings.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Warning:</strong> Swing is not thread safe. For more
 * information see <a
 * href="package-summary.html#threading">Swing's Threading
 * Policy</a>.

 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * 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&trade;
 * has been added to the <code>java.beans</code> package.
