[solved] Spacing problem in a hbox

[thorskin]

I have defined a hbox like this :

Code: Select all

   hbox :
      ypos 0
      ysize 200
      xpos 1100
      xsize 800
      box_reverse True
      spacing 10

with a variable number of imagebuttons all of the same size.
The buttons are displayed starting from the right as intended but with a variable spacing to use the full width of the hbox
I want them to have the same spacing whatever the number of buttons (in the limit of the width) justified to the right
How can I force the hbox to use the spacing I specified?

How can I force the hbox to use the spacing I specified?

I believe the spacing is ignored because the hbox width is already specified. I'm not sure if there is a property that can solve it, however, you can add empty fixed element with xfill True to achieve the desired design:

Code: Select all

    hbox :
        ypos 0
        ysize 200
        xpos 1100
        xsize 800
        box_reverse True
        spacing 10
        
        # variable number of imagebuttons here
        
        fixed:
            xfill True

Code: Select all

        fixed:
            xfill True

It half worked, correct spacing but I could not have the buttons on the right side of the box.

I have removed the width. You were right when saying that width disabled spacing.
Then I used xanchor 1.0 to position the right side of the hbox

Code: Select all

    hbox :
      ypos 0
      ysize 200
      xanchor 1.0
      xpos 1900
      box_reverse True
      spacing 10

Now it works as intended.
Thanks for the help.
