/**
Fl_Flex is a container (layout) widget for one row or one column of widgets.
It provides flexible positioning of its children either in one row or in one
column.
Fl_Flex is designed to be as simple as possible. You can set individual widget
sizes or let Fl_Flex position and size the widgets to fit in the container.
All "flexible" (i.e. non-fixed size) widgets are assigned the same width or
height, respectively. For details see below.
You can set the margins \b around all children at the inner side of the box
frame (if any). Fl_Flex supports setting different margin sizes on top,
bottom, left, and right sides.
The default margin size is 0 on all edges of the container.
You can set the gap size \b between all children. The gap size is always the
same between all of its children. This is similar to the 'spacing' of Fl_Pack.
The default gap size is 0.
Fl_Flex can either consist of a single row, i.e. \p type(Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL)
or a single column, i.e. \p type(Fl_Flex::VERTICAL). The default value is
Fl_Flex::VERTICAL for consistency with Fl_Pack but you can use \p type()
to assign a row (Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL) layout.
If type() == Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL widgets are resized horizontally to fit in
the container and their height is the full Fl_Flex height minus border size
and margins. You can set a fixed widget width by using fixed().
If type() == Fl_Flex::VERTICAL widgets are resized vertically to fit in
the container and their width is the full Fl_Flex width minus border size
and margins. You can set a fixed widget height by using fixed().
To create arbitrary spacing you can use invisible boxes of flexible or
fixed sizes (see example below).
Alternate constructors let you specify the layout as Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL or
Fl_Flex::VERTICAL directly. Fl_Flex::ROW is an alias of Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL
and Fl_Flex::COLUMN is an alias of Fl_Flex::VERTICAL.
The default box type is FL_NO_BOX as inherited from Fl_Group. You \b may
need to set a box type with a solid background depending on your layout.
\b Important: You should always make sure that the Fl_Flex container cannot
be resized smaller than its designed minimal size. This can usually be done by
setting a size_range() on the window as shown in the example below. Fl_Flex
does not take care of sensible sizes. If it is resized too small the behavior
is undefined, i.e. widgets may overlap and/or shrink to zero size.
\b Hint: In many cases Fl_Flex can be used as a drop-in replacement
for Fl_Pack. This is the recommended single row/column container since
FLTK 1.4.0. Its resizing behavior is much more predictable (as expected)
than that of Fl_Pack which "resizes itself to shrink-wrap itself around
all of the children".
Fl_Flex containers can be nested so you can create flexible layouts with
multiple columns and rows. However, if your UI design is more complex you
may want to use Fl_Grid instead.
Example:
\image html Fl_Flex_simple.png
\image latex Fl_Flex_simple.png "Fl_Flex" width=6cm
Example code:
\code
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Double_Window.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Flex.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Box.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Button.H>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
Fl_Double_Window window(410, 40, "Simple Fl_Flex Demo");
Fl_Flex flex(5, 5, 400, 30, Fl_Flex::HORIZONTAL);
Fl_Button b1(0, 0, 0, 0, "File");
Fl_Button b2(0, 0, 0, 0, "Save");
Fl_Box bx(0, 0, 0, 0);
Fl_Button b3(0, 0, 0, 0, "Exit");
flex.fixed(bx, 60); // set fix width of invisible box
flex.gap(10);
flex.end();
window.resizable(flex);
window.end();
window.size_range(300, 30);
window.show(argc, argv);
return Fl::run();
}
