enaml.layout.layout_helpers.horizontal(*items, **config)

Create a left-to-right SequenceHelper object.

Parameters:

• items – The constraint items to pass to the helper.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.vertical(*items, **config)

Create a top-to-bottom SequenceHelper object.

Parameters:

• items – The constraint items to pass to the helper.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.hbox(*items, **config)

Create a horizontal LinearBoxHelper object.

Parameters:

• items – The constraint items to pass to the helper.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.vbox(*items, **config)

Create a vertical LinearBoxHelper object.

Parameters:

• items – The constraint items to pass to the helper.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.align(anchor, *items, **config)

Create a SequenceHelper with the given anchor object.

Parameters:

• anchor (str) – The name of the target anchor on the constrainable object.

• items – The constraint items to pass to the helper.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.factory(func, *args, **kwargs)

Create a FactoryHelper with the given factory function.

Parameters:

• func (callable) – The callable which will generate the list of constraints. The owner widget will be passed as the first argument.

• args – Additional positional arguments to pass to the factory.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the factory.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.grid(*rows, **config)

Create a GridHelper object with the given rows.

Parameters:

• rows – Rows of identifier to use to build a grid.

• config – Additional keyword arguments to pass to the helper.

enaml.layout.layout_helpers.expand_constraints(component, constraints)

A function which expands any ConstraintHelper in the list.

Parameters:

• component (Constrainable) – The constrainable component with which the constraints are associated. This will be passed to the .create_constraints() method of any ConstraintHelper instance.

• constraints (list) – The list of constraints to expand.

Returns:

result – The list of expanded constraints.

Return type:

list
