Auto layout and grid

Shift+A adds auto layout to the selection, or removes it from an auto layout. Auto layout is a field on a parent that is resolved into plain boxes at render time (ADR 0008).

Stack

Section titled “Stack”
  • Direction horizontal or vertical, wrap, gap, cross gap, padding per side.
  • Padding takes CSS shorthand: 8, 8 16, 8 16 24, 8 16 24 32.
  • Wrapped layouts can spread lines over the full height, draw the first child on top, and count inside strokes as padding.
  • Children size fixed, hug or fill, with min and max.

Grid

Section titled “Grid”

Grid auto layout has fixed, fractional and hug columns and rows, spans, per-cell alignment and column-first fill.

Section titled “Related”
  • Shift+A on selected tiles on the canvas stacks them into a row or column.
  • Tidy up: Ctrl+Alt+T. Distribute with an exact gap by typing it next to the distribute buttons.
  • Layout guides take an auto count, min, max or centre alignment, a colour and an opacity; elements snap to their edges.
  • Lock the aspect ratio of an element from the inspector; hold Ctrl to resize freely.
