This can be done with b1 hspace b2 hspace b3 20% 20% 20% 20% 20% but why would you want such spacing? Normally you would want the panels take up most space possibly with some small spacing or the outer panel shrink around the inner panels. > > halign = right Perhaps use direction? Why do you want the empty space there? There are infinite possibilities of alignment so we should choose an alignment method that allows for commonly used alignments and perhaps some less common but useful, not all alignments that somebody can possibly think of. > empty b1 b2 b3 > 20 10 10 10 > > halign is obviously not belonged to children, so you might write it as: > > panel{ > direction = left_to_right > halign = center > panel{ id ="bb" ;valign = center} > panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = top} > panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = bottom} > } > } > > But then there is problem, as panel can be children as well, for example: > > panel { > id = "top" > direction = top_to_bottom > > panel{ > id = "aa" > direction = left_to_right > halign = center > panel{ id ="bb" ;valign = center} > panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = top} > panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = bottom} > } > } > } > > In this case, should halign of aa be used to control its own alignment > from top, or that of its children ? It should be used to align itself, obviously as you want to control the alignment of each child separately and if halign = center was applied to all this would not be possible.
