Manual Hbox ExampleΒΆ

manual_hbox

An example which demonstrates the manual specification of an `hbox`.

This example demonstrates how one would manually define the constraints
for an `hbox` style layout. In fact, the `hbox` layout helper generates
the primitive constraints in a fashion very similar to this example.
The intent of this example is to demonstrate that all of the layout
helper functions can be distilled down to a list of primitive
constraints.
