renoise.Views.Aligner

Just like a Rack, the Aligner shows no content on its own. It just aligns child views vertically or horizontally. As soon as children are added, the Aligner will expand itself to make sure that all children are visible (including spacing & margins). To make use of modes like "center", you manually have to setup a size that is bigger than the sum of the child sizes.

Properties

margin : RackMargin

Set the "borders" of a rack (left, right, top and bottom inclusively)

  • Default: 0 (no borders)

spacing : RackSpacing

Set the amount stacked child views are separated by (horizontally in rows, vertically in columns).

  • Default: 0 (no spacing)

mode : AlignerMode

  • Default: "left" (for horizontal_aligner) "top" (for vertical_aligner)

visible : ViewVisibility

Set visible to false to hide a view (make it invisible without removing it). Please note that view.visible will also return false when any of its parents are invisible (when its implicitly invisible).

  • Default: true

width : ViewDimension

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.

height : ViewDimension

The dimensions of a view has to be larger than 0. For nested views you can also specify relative size for example vb:text { width = "80%"}. The percentage values are relative to the view's parent size and will automatically update on size changes.

tooltip : ViewTooltip

A tooltip text that should be shown for this view on mouse hover.

  • Default: "" (no tip will be shown)

views : renoise.Views.View[]

READ-ONLY Empty for all controls, for layout views this contains the layout child views in the order they got added

Functions

add_child(self, child : renoise.Views.View)
