ColumnScope
The receiver of a Column's content, through which a child declares its own placement in that column.
Children are written plainly; what a child declares here rides along on its modifier:
Column {
Label(text = "Title")
FlowPanel(modifier = SwingModifier.weight(1f)) { Body() }
Button(text = "Close", onClick = ::close, modifier = SwingModifier.align(Alignment.End))
}Functions
Places the child at alignment across the column's width, in place of the column's own horizontalAlignment.
Gives the child the column's whole width in place of the width it prefers, up to an explicit maximumSize where it declares one. A child taking the whole width has nowhere left to sit, so this stands in for both its own align and the column's horizontalAlignment.
Claims weight shares of the height the column has left over once every child that claims none has taken the height it prefers. Two children weighted 1f and 2f take a third and two thirds of it. A child with an explicit maximumSize takes no more than that maximum allows; what it leaves stays empty. With fill the child occupies all the height it is granted; otherwise it occupies as much of that height as it prefers and the column's arrangement places the rest.
