Enumerations

enum AlignmentMode: 🔗

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_BEGIN = 0

The child controls will be arranged at the beginning of the container, i.e. top if orientation is vertical, left if orientation is horizontal (right for RTL layout).

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_CENTER = 1

The child controls will be centered in the container.

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_END = 2

The child controls will be arranged at the end of the container, i.e. bottom if orientation is vertical, right if orientation is horizontal (left for RTL layout).


enum LastWrapAlignmentMode: 🔗

LastWrapAlignmentMode LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_INHERIT = 0

The last partially filled row or column will wrap aligned to the previous row or column in accordance with alignment.

LastWrapAlignmentMode LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_BEGIN = 1

The last partially filled row or column will wrap aligned to the beginning of the previous row or column.

LastWrapAlignmentMode LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_CENTER = 2

The last partially filled row or column will wrap aligned to the center of the previous row or column.

LastWrapAlignmentMode LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_END = 3

The last partially filled row or column will wrap aligned to the end of the previous row or column.


Property Descriptions

AlignmentMode alignment = 0 🔗

The alignment of the container’s children (must be one of ALIGNMENT_BEGIN, ALIGNMENT_CENTER, or ALIGNMENT_END).


LastWrapAlignmentMode last_wrap_alignment = 0 🔗

The wrap behavior of the last, partially filled row or column (must be one of LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_INHERIT, LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_BEGIN, LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_CENTER, or LAST_WRAP_ALIGNMENT_END).


bool reverse_fill = false 🔗

  • void set_reverse_fill(value: bool)

  • bool is_reverse_fill()

If true, reverses fill direction. Horizontal FlowContainers will fill rows bottom to top, vertical FlowContainers will fill columns right to left.

When using a vertical FlowContainer with a right to left Control.layout_direction, columns will fill left to right instead.


bool vertical = false 🔗

  • void set_vertical(value: bool)

  • bool is_vertical()

If true, the FlowContainer will arrange its children vertically, rather than horizontally.

Can’t be changed when using HFlowContainer and VFlowContainer.


Method Descriptions

int get_line_count() const 🔗

Returns the current line count.


Theme Property Descriptions

int h_separation = 4 🔗

The horizontal separation of child nodes.


int v_separation = 4 🔗

The vertical separation of child nodes.
