Is there a Grid layout

[Michael Ellyett]

I want to use a CSV things to appear in a Parent

# parentstyle:shape=rect;autosize=1;

# identity: ID

# parent: Parent

# width:@width

# height: @height

# layout: horizontalflow

ID,Name,Parent,width,height,shape

Parent,Parent,,200,200,rect

Chlld1,Chlld1,Parent,100,10,rect

Chlld2,Chlld2,Parent,100,10,rect

Chlld3,Chlld3,Parent,100,10,rect

Chlld4,Chlld4,Parent,100,10,rect

But when I do this - it resizes the Parent object. Which I don't want and I can't find a way to have the child objects arrange in a grid as you would expect.

Automatic grid layout isn't supported, but you can use top and left and expand=0 in the parent style to place the child objects and stop parent resizing:

# identity: ID

# parent: Parent

# parentstyle:shape=rect;expand=0;

# top: top

# left: left

# width:@width

# height: @height

# ignore: Parent,top,left,width,height

ID,Name,Parent,top,left,width,height,shape

Parent,Parent,,0,0,40,40,rect

Chlld1,Chlld1,Parent,0,0,100,100,rect

Chlld2,Chlld2,Parent,100,0,100,100,rect

Chlld3,Chlld3,Parent,0,100,100,100,rect

Chlld4,Chlld4,Parent,100,100,100,100,rect

We'll fix that offset of child objects and add support for width/height auto and padding for groups in the next release.
