[SOLVED] How to remove ghost width from frame in vpgrid?

[span4ev]

I do so:

Code: Select all

vpgrid:
    cols 2
    rows len(dics) # List length value
    
    for i, k in dics.items(): 
        frame:
            style_prefix 'prefix_stats_only_left_frames'
            text str(i)
        frame:
            style_prefix 'prefix_stats_only_right_frames'
            text str(k)
            

I got a parent frame with one background and two children with a different background, each with the number of rows equal to the length of the list.
I use this approach because I want the result to be a table, but the right side with the values should have a small width, and the left side with the variable names should be wide enough, that is, at least 300 wide.

But I have some extra width here, which is measured as a percentage and which I want to get rid of. I need to be able to define the minimum width myself, and the parent frame adjusts to these dimensions.

XFILL False does not help.

What is this value that affects the size? Where is it? I used SHIFT+i and didn't see anything that would affect it.
How can I set this invisible value to 0, or how can I make a fluid (automatic) width that will adjust to child elements?

In the screenshots, the values go in this order:
1. Left frame minwidth
2. Right frame minwidth
3. The xsize of the main frame

Some invisible value of 20-40 pixels affects the situation.
Because when both frames have a minimum width of 60 and the parent frame has a width of 130, the right frame part does not fit in the parent frame. Padding has no effect on this.

As I understand, this phantom width is set not in the number of pixels, but in percentage, because if I put:

300 - for the left frame
100 - for the right frame
and 610 - for the main frame
then some of the content of the right frame will not fit.

That is, in this case (610 - (300+100)) I have an extra 220 pixels.
I counted 220 and not 210, because I took into account the necessary number so that the content on the right side does not crawl out of the parent frame.

If I divide all values ​​by 2:
150 - for the left frame
50 - for the right frame
305 - for the main frame

then the extra size will be 115 pixels (taking into account the required number so that the content on the right side does not crawl out of the frame).

75 - for the left frame
25 - for the right frame
165 - for the main frame

then the extra size will be 65 pixels (taking into account the number needed so that the content of the right side does not crawl out of the frame).

As you can see, this is a percentage of the width, not a specific value...

What should I do? I don't want to use fixed sizes because I think it's bad practice. Perhaps it has something to do with vpgrid?

I was also very surprised that Renpy has a minwidth property, but no maxwidth...

I believe the reason there is no maxwidth is because your displayable will fill all available space. If you want a maxwidth, place your displayable in a container and constrain its xsize by either directly sizing the container or giving it an xmaximum.

A vpgrid assumes that all children are the same size, the size being taken from the dimensions of the first child. If a vpgrid appears to be rendering incorrectly, please ensure that all children are of the same size. https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens. ... rid#vpgrid

I understand. I realized that I need to stop using vpgrid (which is a pity, because it's a convenient thing).
Thanks for the answer and for "xmaximum" - I didn't know about it. Out of habit, after the CSS, I thought that the opposite of the min width is the max width.

In general, I did this according to the level of nesting

Code: Select all

    frame:
        style 'stats_main_frame'

        vbox:

            for i in range(len(Anna.__dict__)):

                hbox:

                    frame:

                        style_prefix 'stats_child_left_frame'
                        text str(list(Anna.__dict__.keys())[i].title())
                    frame:
                        style_prefix 'stats_child_right_frame'
                        text str(list(Anna.__dict__.values())[i])

I understand you, thanks for the answer.
I chose not to use the grid
