<p>The Column item arranges its children vertically. <a href="#details">More...</a></p>
<!-- @@@Column -->
<p>Inherits <a href="qml-item.html">Item</a></p>
<p>This element was introduced in Qt 4.7.</p>

</ul>
<a name="properties"></a>
<h2>Properties</h2>
<ul>
<li class="fn"><b><b><a href="qml-column.html#add-prop">add</a></b></b> : Transition</li>
<li class="fn"><b><b><a href="qml-column.html#move-prop">move</a></b></b> : Transition</li>
<li class="fn"><b><b><a href="qml-column.html#spacing-prop">spacing</a></b></b> : int</li>
</ul>
<!-- $$$Column-description -->
<a name="details"></a>
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Column item positions its child items so that they are vertically aligned and not overlapping.</p>
<p>Spacing between items can be added using the <a href="qml-column.html#spacing-prop">spacing</a> property. Transitions can be used for cases where items managed by a Column are added or moved. These are stored in the <a href="qml-column.html#add-prop">add</a> and <a href="qml-column.html#move-prop">move</a> properties respectively.</p>
<p>See <a href="qml-positioners.html">Using QML Positioner and Repeater Items</a> for more details about this item and other related items.</p>
<a name="example-usage"></a>
<h2>Example Usage</h2>
<p>The following example positions differently shaped rectangles using a Column item.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/verticalpositioner_example.png" alt="" /></p><pre class="qml"> <span class="type">Column</span> {
<span class="name">spacing</span>: <span class="number">2</span>
<span class="type"><a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> { <span class="name">color</span>: <span class="string">"red"</span>; <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">50</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">50</span> }
<span class="type"><a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> { <span class="name">color</span>: <span class="string">"green"</span>; <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">20</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">50</span> }
<span class="type"><a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> { <span class="name">color</span>: <span class="string">"blue"</span>; <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">50</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">20</span> }
}</pre>
<a name="using-transitions"></a>
<h2>Using Transitions</h2>
<p>Transitions can be used to animate items that are added to, moved within, or removed from a Column item. The <a href="qml-column.html#add-prop">add</a> and <a href="qml-column.html#move-prop">move</a> properties can be set to the transitions that will be applied when items are added to, removed from, or re-positioned within a Column item.</p>
<p>The use of transitions with positioners is described in more detail in the <a href="qml-positioners.html#using-transitions">Using QML Positioner and Repeater Items</a> document.</p>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/verticalpositioner_transition.gif" alt="" /></p><pre class="qml"> <span class="type">Column</span> {
<span class="name">spacing</span>: <span class="number">2</span>
<span class="name">add</span>: <span class="name">Transition</span> {
<span class="comment">// Define an animation for adding a new item...</span>
}
<span class="name">move</span>: <span class="name">Transition</span> {
<span class="comment">// Define an animation for moving items within the column...</span>
}
<span class="comment">// ...</span>
}</pre>
<a name="limitations"></a>
<h2>Limitations</h2>
<p>Note that the positioner assumes that the x and y positions of its children will not change. If you manually change the x or y properties in script, bind the x or y properties, use anchors on a child of a positioner, or have the height of a child depend on the position of a child, then the positioner may exhibit strange behavior. If you need to perform any of these actions, consider positioning the items without the use of a Column.</p>
<p>Items with a width or height of 0 will not be positioned.</p>
