2.2.1. Aligning Elements in Larger Spaces (layout.managers.align)¶

class layout.managers.align.AlignLM(min_width=0, min_height=0, horizontal_align=10, vertical_align=0, element=None)¶

Bases: layout.managers.root.LayoutManager

A layout manager that takes one element and aligns it according to the given parameters, optionally within a box of at least a given size. Several of the other layout managers do some alignment as part of their normal behavior.

Arguments:

min_width

The minimum width to reserve, even if the managed element is smaller.

min_height

The minimum height to reserve, even if the managed element is smaller.

horizontal_align

One of the constants defined in this class for how the element should be aligned horizontally within its space (default: ALIGN_LEFT)

vertcal_align

One of the constants defined in this class for how the element should be aligned vertically within its space (default: ALIGN_TOP)

ALIGN_BOTTOM = 2¶

Align the element to the bottom of the space.

ALIGN_CENTER = 11¶

Align the element to the horizontal center of the space.

ALIGN_LEFT = 10¶

Align the element to the left of the space.

ALIGN_MIDDLE = 1¶

Align the element to the vertical middle of the space.

ALIGN_RIGHT = 12¶

Align the element to the right of the space.

ALIGN_TOP = 0¶

Align the element to the top of the space.

GROW_X = 13¶

Align the element to left and right, making it grow horizontally.

GROW_Y = 3¶

Align the element to top and bottom, making it grow vertically.

get_minimum_size(data)¶

Returns the minimum size of the managed element, as long as it is larger than any manually set minima.

render(rect, data)¶

Draws the managed element in the correct alignment.
