Panel: column

Syntax

column {
    <sub_panel>
    ...
}

Description

Column constraint. No panel is created. Child sub-panels within it are automatically stacked vertically.

Membership

• Panel window

• Tab window

Parameters

None

Switches

• -bc=<color>
  The default background color for children of the column.

• -cr=<file>
  The default image file for children of the column displayable in image form. This should be a Fire image file with multiple cameos. Child sub-panels can then reference cameos within the file via the -cam switch.

• -eq
  Space the sub-panel children equally within the column. This is usually used in combination with the -full switch. Sub-panel justifications and gaps are ignored when this is present.

• -fo=<font>
  The default font for children of the column. This must be a fixed font.

• -full
  Set the height of the column (in pixels) to be the full height of the column’s row parent. The default is for the height to be computed from the sum of the heights of all its child sub-panels.

• -g=<num>
  The default spacing in pixels to be used between adjacent child sub-panels. If omitted, the gap of the parent row or column is used.

• -j=<just>
  The justification of the column within its parent row or column. Within a parent row the value should be one of L, M, R. Within a parent column the value should be one of T, M or B. The default in both cases is M.

• -tc=<color>
  The default text color for children of the column.

Callbacks

None

Notes

No sub-panels are created by the column statement. It is merely a device for controlling the vertical layout of other sub-panels.

Examples

Create a panel window containing an alpha subwindow and column with label and slider illustrating the -full feature.

window w = wpanel {
    row {
        a: walpha -r=40
        column -full {
            label 'File Size'
            s: slider 40,0,0,-v,-eb
        }
    }
}

Create a panel window to illustrate the equal spacing of sub-panels and justification.

window w = wpanel {
    row {
        list -r=10
        column -eq,-full {
            c1: check_button 'Text File',-j=’L’
            c2: check_button 'Network File',-j=’L’
            c3: check_button 'Read-only',-j=’L’
        }
    }
}
