class VerticalLayout

Creates a new VerticalLayout object.

The space, in pixels, between each two adjacent items in the layout.

If the gap is set to Math.POSITIVE_INFINITY, the items will be positioned as far apart as possible. In this case, the gap will never be smaller than minGap.

In the following example, the layout's gap is set to 20 pixels:

layout.gap = 20.0;

• VerticalLayoutData.marginTop

• VerticalLayoutData.marginBottom

How the content is positioned horizontally (along the x-axis) within the container.

The following example aligns the container's content to the right:

layout.horizontalAlign = RIGHT;

See also:

• feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.LEFT

• feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.CENTER

• feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.RIGHT

• feathers.layout.HorizontalAlign.JUSTIFY

Indicates if the width of items should be reset if the horizontalAlign property is set to HorizontalAlign.JUSTIFY and the explicit width of the parent container is not set.

See also:

• VerticalLayout.horizontalAlign

If the value of the gap property is Math.POSITIVE_INFINITY, meaning that the gap will fill as much space as possible and position the items as far from each other as they can go without going outside of the view port bounds, the final calculated value of the gap will not be smaller than the value of the minGap property.

In the following example, the layout's minimum gap is set to 4 pixels:

layout.minGap = 4.0;

The space, in pixels, between the parent container's bottom edge and its content.

In the following example, the layout's bottom padding is set to 20 pixels:

layout.paddingBottom = 20.0;

The space, in pixels, between the parent container's left edge and its content.

In the following example, the layout's left padding is set to 20 pixels:

layout.paddingLeft = 20.0;

The space, in pixels, between the parent container's right edge and its content.

In the following example, the layout's right padding is set to 20 pixels:

layout.paddingRight = 20.0;

The space, in pixels, between the parent container's top edge and its content.

In the following example, the layout's top padding is set to 20 pixels:

layout.paddingTop = 20.0;

Indicates if the height of items should be reset for re-measurement if the item has HorizontalLayoutData with the percentHeight property populated and the container's height is not explicitly set.

Useful if changes to the items' content might affect their measured dimensions after applying the percentages. For instance, if changing a component's text should cause it to resize.

See also:

• HorizontalLayoutData.percentHeight

Indicates if the width of items should be reset for re-measurement if the item has HorizontalLayoutData with the percentWidth property populated and the container's width is not explicitly set.

Useful if changes to the items' content might affect their measured dimensions after applying the percentages. For instance, if changing a component's text should cause it to resize.

See also:

• HorizontalLayoutData.percentWidth

How the content is positioned vertically (along the y-axis) within the container. If the total height of the content is larger than the available height within the container, then the positioning of the items will always start from the top.

Note: The VerticalAlign.JUSTIFY constant is not supported by this layout.

The following example aligns the container's content to the bottom:

layout.verticalAlign = BOTTOM;

See also:

• feathers.layout.VerticalAlign.TOP

• feathers.layout.VerticalAlign.MIDDLE

• feathers.layout.VerticalAlign.BOTTOM

See also:

• feathers.layout.ILayout.layout()

Sets all four padding properties to the same value.

• VerticalLayout.paddingTop

• VerticalLayout.paddingRight

• VerticalLayout.paddingBottom

• VerticalLayout.paddingLeft
