  Enforcing the aspect ratio of a Swing widget

  Sometimes, a widget only looks good at a given aspect ratio (movies, pictures, etc.).
  I wrote a small Swing container for this task today, which you can find at my trac installation. There is also a small example program.
  Usage boils down to using
  parent.add(new AspectRatioContainer(4.0/3.0, widget)).
  instead of just
  parent.add(widget);
  Perhaps this is of use to somebody.
