<i>EAGLE Help</i>
<h1><center>Layout Information</center></h1>
<hr>
All objects within a User Language Dialog a placed inside a <i>layout context</i>.
<p>
Layout contexts can be either <a href=292.htm>grid</a>, <a href=294.htm>horizontal</a>
or <a href=310.htm>vertical</a>.
<p>
<b>Grid Layout Context</b>
<p>
Objects in a grid layout context must specify the grid coordinates of the cell or cells into
which they shall be placed. To place a text label at row 5, column 2, you would write
<pre>
dlgGridLayout {
  dlgCell(5, 2) dlgLabel("Text");
  }
</pre>
If the object shall span over more than one cell you need to specify the coordinates of the
starting cell and the ending cell. To place a group that extends from row 1, column 2 up to row 3,
column 5, you would write
<pre>
dlgGridLayout {
  dlgCell(1, 2, 3, 5) dlgGroup("Title") {
    //...
    }
  }
</pre>
<p>
<b>Horizontal Layout Context</b>
<p>
Objects in a horizontal layout context are placed left to right.
<p>
The special objects <a href=304.htm>dlgStretch</a> and <a href=302.htm>dlgSpacing</a>
can be used to further refine the distribution of the available space.
<p>
To define two buttons that are pushed all the way to the right edge of the dialog,
you would write
<pre>
dlgHBoxLayout {
  dlgStretch(1);
  dlgPushButton("+OK")    dlgAccept();
  dlgPushButton("Cancel") dlgReject();
  }
</pre>
<p>
<b>Vertical Layout Context</b>
<p>
Objects in a vertical layout context follow the same rules as those in a horizontal
layout context, except that they are placed top to bottom.
<p>
<b>Mixing Layout Contexts</b>
<p>
Vertical, horizontal and grid layout contexts can be mixed to create the desired layout
structure of a dialog.
See the <a href=318.htm>Complete Example</a> for a demonstration of this.
