LayoutsΒΆ
Layouts are containers used to arrange widgets in a particular manner:
AnchorLayout: Widgets can be anchored to the 'top', 'bottom', 'left',
'right' or 'center'.
BoxLayout: Widgets are arranged sequentially, in either a 'vertical'
or a 'horizontal' orientation.
FloatLayout: Widgets are essentially unrestricted.
RelativeLayout: Child widgets are positioned relative to the layout.
GridLayout: Widgets are arranged in a grid defined by the `rows` and
`cols` properties.
StackLayout: Widgets are stacked in a `lr-tb` (left to right then top to
bottom) or `tb-lr` order.
When you add a widget to a layout, the following properties are used to determine the widget’s size and position, depending on the type of layout:
size_hint: defines the size of a widget in its parent space as a percentage. Values are restricted to the range 0.0 - 1.0 i.e. 0.01 = 1% and 1. = 100%.
pos_hint: is used to place the widget relative to the parent.
The size_hint and pos_hint are used to calculate a widget’s size and position only if the value(s) are not set to None. If you set these values to None, the layout will not position/size the widget and you can specify the values (x, y, width, height) directly in screen coordinates.
