[SOLVED] Specifying vpgrid width?

[HammeredEnt]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a vpgrid but I can't seem to get it positioned right - the cells just bunch up over to the right of the screen rather than spread across the area that I want it to (as indicated by the graphic behind it. I've tried using the 'xsize' option but that didn't seem to do anything helpful - it just squished things over further and made it unreadable.

Code: Select all

screen armorinit():

    add "armormenu" at center
    vpgrid:
        cols 2
        ysize 0.85
        xspacing 20
        yspacing 40
        draggable True
        mousewheel True
        scrollbars "vertical"
        side_xalign 0.2
        side_yalign 0.3

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

From the documentation, a vpgrid sizes itself based on its children (the stuff you put in it)

And yet it's still getting all bunched up like this when they're clearly bigger...

A vpgrid can only be used with children that are all the same size, and it picks the size of the children from the size of the first child.

Ah-hah! It was the 'first child' bit that I was messing up - I thought it would size to the largest of all children rather than just the first one. Problem solved - just add in some 'junk' space on the first child to make it work. Thanks PyTom!
