/**
* Accessor for 'CachedFillLayout'
*
* This layouter renders the first visible child of the container into the whole available space and caches the size
* of its children, so the next time the layout will be done, the cached values will be used until
* the cache is cleared by the user.
*
* In many cases, the min, max and pref size of the child container will not change until the child container
* has not been changed by adding or removing children. So using this layout manager as a parent for a complex
* layout can improve performance extremely. The tradeoff is, that the programmer has to take care for container
* changes itself and clearing the cache.
*
* layout(): The size of the visible control is set to the containers clientAreaSize
*
* getPreferredSize(): Returns the preferred size of the visible control
* getMinSize(): Returns the min size of the visible control
* getMaxSize(): returns new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, Short.MAX_VALUE)
*
* The PreferredSize, MinSize() and MaxSize() will be cached, until clear cache will be invoked
