Notes
Constraints can be applied between 2 rectangles in the layout, or to 1 rectangle with absolute positioning. Use the constraints to control left, right, bottom, top, width, height, or centering configurations. Examples: (ordered as rectangle from, constraint from, rectangle to, constraint to, offset modifier, multiplicative modifier) A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0, 1.0 Set left position of A equal to left pos of B A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_RIGHT&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0, 1.0 Set left pos of A equal to right of B The offset modifier is used for additive manipulation of constraints A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, 10, 0, 1.0 Set left pos of A equal to left of B, plus 10 A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_BOTTOM&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_TOP&lt;/define&gt;, -20, 0, 1.0 Set bottom of A equal to top of B, minus 20 Multiplicative manipulation of constraints A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0.5 Set the width of A equal to 0.5 times the width of B A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_HEIGHT&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 1.2 Set the height of A equal to 1.2 times the width of B You can use BOTH the multiplicative and offset modifiers in conjunction (multiplicative gets precedence) A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, 10, 0.5 A(width) = (0.5 * B(width)) + 10 A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, -20, 0.1 A(left) = (0.1 * B(width)) + (-20) If second node is -2, use absolute positioning A,&lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;,-2,<ignored>,25,<ignored>,<ignored> Position left of A at position 25 A,&lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;,-2,<ignored>,30,<ignored>,<ignored> Set width of A to 30 Use the MOVE constraints to move an entire window without resizing A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_MOVEL&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_LEFT&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0, 1.0 Move node A, align left with left side of B A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_MOVEL&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_RIGHT&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0, 1.0 Move node A, align left with right side of B A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_MOVET&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_WIDTH&lt;/define&gt;, 0, 0, 1.0 Move node A, align bottom to position equal to width of B A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_MOVER&lt;/define&gt;, B, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_RIGHT&lt;/define&gt;, 10, 1.1 Move node A, align right to 1.1*right of B, plus 10 A, &lt;define&gt;LAYOUT_CONSTR_MOVEL&lt;/define&gt;, NULL, 10, 0, 1.0 Move node A, align left at position 10
