```
public class PsPanel
extends java.awt.Panel
implements PsUpdateIf
```
Default base class for info panels, and often used instead of Panel. Implements the update mechanism and simplifies setting of layouts. Each non-gui class may have associated inspectors derived from PsPanel.
Subclasses must call the init() method in each constructor and each init() method must call super.init() at first.
```
        public class myClass extends mySuperClass
                public myClass() {
                        ...
                        if (getClass() == myClass.class)
                                init();
                }
                public void init() {
                        super.init();
                        ...
                }
 
```
Only this ensures that the init() method is called. Otherwise even the init() methods of the superclasses will not be called.
The default font of this class is PsConfig.FONT_TEXT.
Class contains several static methods to simplify the updating of GUI widgets. These methods first check if the GUI is already in the requested state, and invoke the GUI methods only if the widget status must be changed.

```
public static boolean setState(java.awt.Checkbox widget,
               boolean bState)
```
    Assure that a checkbox has same state than corresponding boolean flag. If state of checkbox is equal to the requested new state then do nothing.
    See additional comments in PsPanel#setEnabled(Component, boolean).

```
public static boolean setLabel(java.awt.Button widget,
               java.lang.String text)
```
    Set the label of a button if it is different from the current label. If label of button is equal to the requested new label then do nothing.

    Parameters:
    widget - Button
    text - new label of the widget
    
    Returns:
    true if the value has been update in this method.

  - setLabel
```
public static boolean setLabel(java.awt.Checkbox widget,
               java.lang.String text)
```
    Set the label of a checkbox if it is different from the current label. If label of checkbox is equal to the requested new label then do nothing.
    See additional comments in PsPanel#setEnabled(Component, boolean).
    
    Parameters:
    widget - Checkbox
    text - new label of the widget
    
    Returns:
    true if the value has been update in this method.

  - setEnabled
```
public static boolean setEnabled(java.awt.Component widget,
                 boolean bEnable)
```
    Assure that a component is enabled if requested. If state of component is equal to the requested new state then do nothing.
    Note: never call one of the static helper methods from an overwritten method with the same name. For example, if MyLabel extends Label and MyLabel#setEnabled(boolean) exists. Then an invocation of PsPanel.setEnabled(this, boolean) in MyLabel#setEnabled would lead to loop since PsPanel.setEnabled calls MyLabel#setEnabled.
    
    Parameters:
    widget - Component
    bEnable - Requested new state of the component
    
    Returns:
    true if the value has been update in this method.

              int borderType)
```
    Deprecated. use static void PsPanel.drawBorder(Graphics, borderType, Rectangle);
    
    Draw border around panel. Method calls PsPanel.drawBorder(g, borderType, new Rectangle(comp.getSize()));
  - setBorderType
```
public void setBorderType(int borderType)
```
    Set border of panel which is automatically drawn. If borderType==PsPanel.BORDER_NONE drawing is disabled, otherwise the borderType is set and drawing is enabled.
    
    Parameters:
    borderType - type of border, for possible values see PsPanel.

    paint(Graphics)
  - setOutOfDate
```
public void setOutOfDate(boolean state)
```
    Mark this panel as being not synchronized with the correct data of its parent. Usually, this method is invoked whenever a parent changes but this panel is temporarily not visible. In this case the next invocation of this paint(Graphics) method will at first update this panel with new data from its parent by calling this.update(m_parent).
  - paint
```
public void paint(java.awt.Graphics g)
```
    Call super.paint(g) and draw border around panel. If this panel is out of date, then this panel is first synchronized with new data from its parent by calling this.update(m_parent).
    If this panel has an image then the image is drawn before super.paint(Graphics) is called.
    
    Overrides:
    
    paint in class java.awt.Container

    setBorderType(int)
  - update
```
public void update(java.awt.Graphics g)
```
    Override Component.update(Graphics) to avoid clearing the component if an image is available.
