Vbox Example

An example which demonstrates the use of the vbox layout helper.

In this example, we use the vbox layout helper to layout the children of the Container in a vertical group. The vbox function is a fairly sophisticated layout helper which automatically takes into account the content boundaries of its parent. It also provides the necessary layout spacers in the horizontal direction to allow for children of various widths.

Tip

To see this example in action, download it from vbox and run:

$ enaml-run vbox.enaml
