    - #### uis

          protected Vector uis

      The vector containing the real UIs. This is populated in the call to `createUI`, and can be obtained by calling the `getUIs` method. The first element is guaranteed to be the real UI obtained from the default look and feel.

          public MultiPanelUI()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getUIs

          public ComponentUI[] getUIs()

      Returns the list of UIs associated with this multiplexing UI. This allows processing of the UIs by an application aware of multiplexing UIs on components.

    - #### contains

          public boolean contains(JComponent a,
                                  int b,
                                  int c)

      Invokes the `contains` method on each UI handled by this object.
      Overrides:
        `contains` in class `ComponentUI`
      Parameters:
        `a` - the component where the x,y location is being queried; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
        `b` - the x coordinate of the point
        `c` - the y coordinate of the point
      Returns:
        the value obtained from the first UI, which is the UI obtained from the default `LookAndFeel`
      See Also:
        `JComponent.contains(int, int)`, `Component.contains(int, int)`

    - #### update

          public void update(Graphics a,
                             JComponent b)

      Invokes the `update` method on each UI handled by this object.
      Overrides:
        `update` in class `ComponentUI`
      Parameters:

      See Also:
        `ComponentUI.paint(java.awt.Graphics, javax.swing.JComponent)`, `JComponent.paintComponent(java.awt.Graphics)`

    - #### createUI

          public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent a)

      Returns a multiplexing UI instance if any of the auxiliary `LookAndFeel`s supports this UI. Otherwise, just returns the UI object obtained from the default `LookAndFeel`.
