Positioning of extensions
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How about using the alignment flags (or similar) for position, and the
|
|
|
|
|
direction flags for how to fill?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|a b c|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|e d|
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a = Left | Top
|
|
|
|
|
b = Middle | Top
|
|
|
|
|
c = Right | Top
|
|
|
|
|
d = Right | Bottom
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now here's the filling
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12345 LeftToRight
|
|
|
|
|
54321 RightToLeft (eg. for a right aligned thing)
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
3 BottomToTop

etc. etc.

|
Essentially, this splits the concept of positioning and layout. Now, lets get
|
|
|
|
|
crazy:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Imagine we're in position a and want to have a triangular corner layout:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1247
|
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, maybe we need some sort of concept of (one of):
|
|
|
|
|
1) multiple linked rectangular blocks
|
|
|
|
|
2) extensions/bars with a mask
|
|
|
|
|
3) each item being considered independently (maybe some sort of magnetic
|
|
|
|
|
blocks so they can be draggable?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, let's get really insane:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
positions a AND c
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12 65
|
|
|
|
|
34 7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This perhaps indicates that the details of placement should be passed off to
|
|
|
|
|
the extensions, but also that extensions might be 'linked'. eg. removing the
|
|
|
|
|
extension in position a should also remove c (and the configurations are also
|
|
|
|
|
linked).
