Its dependent on an external library so I would think that it should not be part of pivot. I'll pass it to the miglayout project but wanted to get it out there for use and shake it out. I don't know if the javafx version is part of the standard distribution yet.
Issues to go production ready: 1) "Debug" support: I could not figure out how to draw the red boxes correctly around the debug rectangles. 2) Component layout direction: Component ordering (left to right, right to left) so I made the default left to right but I could not figure out if pivot has the same concept from which I could set the default on a per component basis.

It seems like something other developers might be interested in. We could potentially consider adding it to the platform, but it might make more sense to contribute it it to the MiGLayout project, if you wanted to do that. The author already has versions for Swing, SWT, and JavaFX, so Pivot would be a nice addition. G On Jun 30, 2010, at 11:12 PM, aappddeevv wrote: I did a quick port of miglayout to pivot. The attached zip has the ported files and the graphics are examples of the output using it. Obviously, TableView can do all of this as well, however, miglayout has some nice platform-specific defaults for spacing and gaps. As always, getting layouts right still takes too much effort. The debug option does not work. It would be nice to know if it works okay in web deployment. It was only lightly tested in the desktop deployment model. <pivot-miglayout.zip><miglayout port.PNG><miglayout port snippet 2.PNG>
