NAME

Glue, HGlue, VGlue - open space between interactors

SYNOPSIS

#include <InterViews/glue.h>

DESCRIPTION

A glue object is an interactor that is used to define variable-size space between interactors in boxes. The HGlue subclass is for space in a horizontal box; VGlue for space in a vertical box. Along its minor axis (vertical for HGlue, horizontal for VGlue), glue has a natural size of zero and infinite stretchability.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

Construct glue with a given natural size and stretchability. The glue's shrinkability is defined to be the same as the natural size, meaning it can shrink to zero.
Construct glue with a given natural size, shrinkability, and stretchability. If shrink is larger than natural the glue potentially can have ``negative size'', meaning interactors will overlap in a box.
