public class QSpacerItem
extends QtJambiObject
implements QLayoutItemInterface

The QSpacerItem class provides blank space in a layout. Normally, you don't need to use this class directly. Qt's built-in layout managers provide the following functions for manipulating empty space in layouts:

Class	Functions
QHBoxLayout	addSpacing(), addStretch(), insertSpacing(), insertStretch()
QGridLayout	setRowMinimumHeight(), setRowStretch(), setColumnMinimumWidth(), setColumnStretch()

QLayout, QWidgetItem, and QLayoutItem::spacerItem().

Constructor Detail

QSpacerItem

public QSpacerItem(int w,
                   int h,
                   QSizePolicy.Policy hData)

Constructs a spacer item with preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

QSpacerItem

public QSpacerItem(int w,
                   int h)

Constructs a spacer item with preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

QSpacerItem

public QSpacerItem(int w,
                   int h,
                   QSizePolicy.Policy hData,
                   QSizePolicy.Policy vData)

Constructs a spacer item with preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

Method Detail

alignment

public final Qt.Alignment alignment()

Returns the alignment of this item.

See also:

setAlignment().

Specified by:

alignment in interface QLayoutItemInterface

changeSize

public final void changeSize(int w,
                             int h,
                             QSizePolicy.Policy hData)

Changes this spacer item to have preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

Note that if changeSize() is called after the spacer item has been added to a layout, it is necessary to invalidate the layout in order for the spacer item's new size to take effect.

See also:

QSpacerItem::invalidate().

changeSize

public final void changeSize(int w,
                             int h)

Changes this spacer item to have preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

Note that if changeSize() is called after the spacer item has been added to a layout, it is necessary to invalidate the layout in order for the spacer item's new size to take effect.

See also:

QSpacerItem::invalidate().

changeSize

public final void changeSize(int w,
                             int h,
                             QSizePolicy.Policy hData,
                             QSizePolicy.Policy vData)

Changes this spacer item to have preferred width w, preferred height h, horizontal size policy hPolicy and vertical size policy vPolicy.

The default values provide a gap that is able to stretch if nothing else wants the space.

Note that if changeSize() is called after the spacer item has been added to a layout, it is necessary to invalidate the layout in order for the spacer item's new size to take effect.

See also:

QSpacerItem::invalidate().

controlTypes

public final QSizePolicy.ControlTypes controlTypes()

Returns the control type(s) for the layout item. For a QWidgetItem, the control type comes from the widget's size policy; for a QLayoutItem, the control types is derived from the layout's contents.

See also:

QSizePolicy::controlType().

Specified by:

controlTypes in interface QLayoutItemInterface

setAlignment

public final void setAlignment(Qt.Alignment a)

Sets the alignment of this item to alignment.

Note: Item alignment is only supported by QLayoutItem subclasses where it would have a visual effect. Except for QSpacerItem, which provides blank space for layouts, all public Qt classes that inherit QLayoutItem support item alignment.

See also:

alignment().

Specified by:

setAlignment in interface QLayoutItemInterface

expandingDirections

public Qt.Orientations expandingDirections()

Returns whether this layout item can make use of more space than sizeHint(). A value of Qt::Vertical or Qt::Horizontal means that it wants to grow in only one dimension, whereas Qt::Vertical | Qt::Horizontal means that it wants to grow in both dimensions.

Specified by:

expandingDirections in interface QLayoutItemInterface

geometry

public QRect geometry()

Returns the rectangle covered by this layout item.

See also:

setGeometry().

Specified by:

geometry in interface QLayoutItemInterface

hasHeightForWidth

public boolean hasHeightForWidth()

Returns true if this layout's preferred height depends on its width; otherwise returns false. The default implementation returns false.

Reimplement this function in layout managers that support height for width.

See also:

heightForWidth(), and QWidget::heightForWidth().

Specified by:

hasHeightForWidth in interface QLayoutItemInterface

heightForWidth

public int heightForWidth(int arg__1)

Returns the preferred height for this layout item, given the width w.

The default implementation returns -1, indicating that the preferred height is independent of the width of the item. Using the function hasHeightForWidth() will typically be much faster than calling this function and testing for -1.

Reimplement this function in layout managers that support height for width. A typical implementation will look like this:

    public int heightForWidth(int w)
    {
        if (cache_dirty || cached_width != w) {
            int h = calculateHeightForWidth(w);
            cached_hfw = h;
            return h;
        }
        return cached_hfw;
    }

Caching is strongly recommended; without it layout will take exponential time.

hasHeightForWidth().

heightForWidth in interface QLayoutItemInterface
