Class: Column ​

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:24

A layout manager that divides the container width equally among all children and places them left-to-right with a configurable gap.

Extends ​

Constructors ​

new Column() ​

ts
new Column(options?: ColumnOptions): Column

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:29

Parameters ​

options? ​

ColumnOptions

Returns ​

Column

Overrides ​

LayoutManager.constructor

Methods ​

attach() ​

ts
attach(container: Component): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:58

Associates this layout manager with a container component.

Parameters ​

container ​

Component

The container component to attach to.

Returns ​

this

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.attach

delLayoutConstraints() ​

ts
delLayoutConstraints(component: Component): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:276

Removes and returns the stored layout constraints for a component.

Parameters ​

component ​

Component

The component whose constraints should be removed.

Returns ​

undefined | LayoutConstraints

The removed constraints, or undefined if none were stored.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.delLayoutConstraints

detach() ​

ts
detach(): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:67

Dissociates this layout manager from its container.

Returns ​

this

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.detach

doLayout() ​

ts
doLayout(): void

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:246

Divides the container width equally among children and places them left-to-right with gaps.

Returns ​

void

Remarks ​

When stretching is enabled (default) every child fills the full container height. When stretching is disabled the children use their preferred heights and are baseline-aligned within the row, mirroring HBox's baseline-aware placement.

Overrides ​

LayoutManager.doLayout

getClassName() ​

ts
getClassName(): string

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/core/BaseObject.ts:44

Returns the runtime class name of this object.

Returns ​

string

The name of the constructor function as a string.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.getClassName

getContainer() ​

ts
getContainer(): null | Component

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:78

Returns the container component this layout manager is attached to.

Returns ​

null | Component

The attached container, or null if not attached.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.getContainer

getGap() ​

ts
getGap(): number

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:60

Returns the pixel gap between columns.

Returns ​

number

The current gap in pixels.

getId() ​

ts
getId(): string

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/core/BaseObject.ts:24

Returns the unique identifier for this object.

Returns ​

string

The UUID string assigned at construction time.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.getId

getLayoutConstraints() ​

ts
getLayoutConstraints(component: Component): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:291

Returns the stored layout constraints for a component.

Parameters ​

component ​

Component

The component to look up.

Returns ​

undefined | LayoutConstraints

The stored constraints, or undefined if none are set.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.getLayoutConstraints

getMaxSize() ​

ts
getMaxSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:203

Computes the maximum size as the minimum child maximum dimensions arranged horizontally with gaps.

Returns ​

null | Size

The maximum {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides ​

LayoutManager.getMaxSize

getMinSize() ​

ts
getMinSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:154

Computes the minimum size as the maximum child minimum dimensions arranged horizontally with gaps. When stretching is disabled the height reflects baseline-aligned row metrics.

Returns ​

null | Size

The minimum {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides ​

LayoutManager.getMinSize

getPreferredSize() ​

ts
getPreferredSize(): null | Size

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:104

Computes the preferred size as the maximum child preferred dimensions arranged horizontally with gaps. When stretching is disabled the height reflects baseline-aligned row metrics.

Returns ​

null | Size

The preferred {width, height}, or null if no container is attached.

Overrides ​

LayoutManager.getPreferredSize

isStretching() ​

ts
isStretching(): boolean

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:81

Returns whether children stretch to fill the container height.

Returns ​

boolean

true if stretching is enabled (default).

placeComponent() ​

ts
placeComponent(
   component: Component, 
   x: number, 
   y: number, 
   maxWidth: number, 
   maxHeight: number, 
   fill?: null | FillType, 
   anchor?: null | AnchorType): void

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:126

Positions and sizes a child component within the given bounds, respecting fill and anchor constraints.

Parameters ​

component ​

Component

The child component to position.

x ​

number

Left edge of the cell in the container's coordinate space.

y ​

number

Top edge of the cell in the container's coordinate space.

maxWidth ​

number

Available width for the component.

maxHeight ​

number

Available height for the component.

fill? ​

Optional. Fill strategy overriding the component's own constraints.

null | FillType

anchor? ​

Optional. Anchor point overriding the component's own constraints.

null | AnchorType

Returns ​

void

Remarks ​

The method checks the component's stored LayoutConstraints first; the fill and anchor parameters serve as fallbacks. After positioning, doLayout is called on the child so nested layouts are updated in a single pass.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.placeComponent

setGap() ​

ts
setGap(gap: number): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:69

Sets the pixel gap between columns and triggers a re-layout.

Parameters ​

gap ​

number

Gap size in pixels.

Returns ​

this

setId() ​

ts
setId(id: string): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/core/BaseObject.ts:33

Sets the unique identifier for this object.

Parameters ​

id ​

string

The new identifier string to assign.

Returns ​

this

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.setId

setLayoutConstraints() ​

ts
setLayoutConstraints(component: Component, constraints?: LayoutConstraints): undefined | LayoutConstraints

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/LayoutManager.ts:260

Stores layout constraints for a component, or removes them if constraints is undefined.

Parameters ​

component ​

Component

The component whose constraints are being set.

constraints? ​

LayoutConstraints

Optional. The constraints to store; omit to delete existing constraints.

Returns ​

undefined | LayoutConstraints

The stored constraints, or undefined if they were deleted.

Inherited from ​

LayoutManager.setLayoutConstraints

setStretching() ​

ts
setStretching(stretching: boolean): this

Defined in: src/typescript/lib/layout/Column.ts:91

Sets whether children stretch to fill the container height. When false, children use their preferred heights and are baseline-aligned within the row.

Parameters ​

stretching ​

boolean

Pass false to enable baseline alignment instead of stretching.

Returns ​

this
