java.lang.Object | +--gui.StackLayout
Positioning: "Center" : centered horizontally & vertically (the default) "Left" or "Top" : pushed at the left|top edge. "Right" or "Bottom" : pushed against the right|top edge Sizing: "Wide" or "Tall" : filled to use available space. "Wide*#" or "Tall*#" : filled but weighted by the number #. "Fill" (or "Fill*#") : filled in both directions. "Width=#" or "Height=#" : given explicit width|height Margins: "Flush" : margins are not added around this component.By default, a component is centered in both directions. The available space along the orientation is divided between the filled components. A common idiom is to build a complicated panel out of, say, a vertical stack of horizontal stacks (both using StackLayout). In that case, it would usually be good to add the horizontal panels using the tag "Wide Flush", so that spacing comes out evenly.
Much of what can be done with GridBagLayout can be achieved by combining a set of subpanels using StackLayout, but typically more concisely. On the other hand, with StackLayout there is less compile time checking of the layout.
