Hey guys, About to build this based on a Container (with nested Grids perhaps?), but if there's something out there that's a closer starting point I don't wanna completely re-invent the wheel :) Here's what I need to do:
I need to layout a bunch of rectangular components in something resembling a 2 x n grid, but with flexible cell widths per row, ie everything lines up horizontally, not necessarily vertically. Components are added to the container without any sizing / positioning info, and the container does all the measuring and positioning to make the best possible use of the space available If I've got 2 components of size 1x1, and one that's 1x2, I want the two square ones on the left, and the long one on the right to make a 2x2 grid Rows of variable height, but every component in a row must be expanded to fit that height Each row takes up the complete width of the widest row - if two components in a row are each < width / 2, they'll be expanded to width / 2 each. If two "squareish" components are together less than one row width, but one is > row width / 2, the smaller one will be made wider to keep things looking neat. Only vertical scrolling, and only if necessary. I know, it can mean double ups on measure() etc, and the Adobe guys clearly disagree with me, but as far as I'm concerned it's the only acceptable solution UX-wise. Does something close to this exist, that I can base my component on? If not, will it be of any use to the community when I'm done? It's probably the kind of thing I can easily get the OK from the boss to open source. Cheers, -Josh -- "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls.
