== Panel Class

The Panel class extends Element and, like the Label class, it’s only purpose is to provide:

.  The 3 standard constructors as shown in the <<jme3/contributions/tonegodgui/quickstart#,Quick Start Guide>>
.  Default style information

*Constructor 1:*

[source,java]
----

/** Parameters:
  * Screen screen,
  * String UID,
  * Vector2f position
  */
 
Panel panel = new Panel(screen, “panel”, new Vector2f(15, 15));

----

*Constructor 2:*

[source,java]
----

/** Additional Parameter:
  * Vector2f dimensions  */
 
Panel panel = new Panel(screen, “panel”, new Vector2f(15, 15),
    new Vector2f(400, 300)
);

----

*Constructor 3:*

[source,java]
----

/** Additional Parameters:
  * Vector4f resizeBorders,
  * String defaultImg
  */
 
Panel panel = new Panel(screen, “panel”, new Vector2f(15, 15), new Vector2f(400, 300),
    new Vector4f(14,14,14,14),
    “tonegod/gui/style/def/Window/panel_x.png”
);

----

The Panel class creates a resizable, movable panel (<<jme3/contributions/tonegodgui/window#,Window>> without a dragbar). The entire panel is clickable for moving unless otherwise covered by added child Elements that have not called:

[source,java]
----

setIgnoreMouse(true);

You can disable any of the default behaviors of the Panel class by using the methods described in the <<jme3/contributions/tonegodgui/element#,Element>> class.
