- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### EditorContainer

          public EditorContainer()

      Constructs an `EditorContainer` object.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### EditorContainer

          public void EditorContainer()

    - #### paint

          public void paint(Graphics g)

      Overrides `Container.paint` to paint the node's icon and use the selection color for the background.
      Overrides:
        `paint` in class `Container`
      Parameters:
        `g` - the specified Graphics window
      See Also:
        `Component.update(Graphics)`

    - #### doLayout

          public void doLayout()

      Lays out this `Container`. If editing, the editor will be placed at `offset` in the x direction and 0 for y.
      Overrides:
        `doLayout` in class `Container`
      See Also:
        `LayoutManager.layoutContainer(java.awt.Container)`, `Container.setLayout(java.awt.LayoutManager)`, `Container.validate()`

    - #### getPreferredSize

          public Dimension getPreferredSize()

      Returns the preferred size for the `Container`. This will be at least preferred size of the editor plus `offset`.
      Overrides:
        `getPreferredSize` in class `Container`
      Returns:
        a `Dimension` containing the preferred size for the `Container`; if `editingComponent` is `null` the `Dimension` returned is 0, 0
      See Also:
        `Container.getMinimumSize()`, `Container.getMaximumSize()`, `Container.getLayout()`, `LayoutManager.preferredLayoutSize(Container)`, `Component.getPreferredSize()`
