CLASS DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

	  The VkAlignmentGroup class provides support for aligning collections
	  of widgets with each other in	various	ways. To use, create an
	  instance of the VkAlignmentGroup class, add widgets or components
	  using	the add() member function inherited from VkWidgetGroup,	and
	  then call alignWidth(), alignHeight(), or similar functions as
	  desired.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

   VkAlignmentGroup()
	   VkAlignmentGroup(void);


	  Initializes a	VkAlignmentGroup object.

   ~VkAlignmentGroup()
	   virtual void	~VkAlignmentGroup(void);


	  Frees	the storage associated with a VkAlignmentGroup object. Does
	  not destroy the widgets or components	contained by this object.

   add()
	   virtual void	add(VkOptionMenu* menu);
	   virtual void	add(Widget widget);
	   virtual void	add(VkComponent	component);


	  Adds widgets,	components, or all the entries in a VkOptionMenu pane
	  to the group of widgets. Also	see VkWidgetList::add().

   alignLeft()
	   void	alignLeft(void);


	  Reposition all widgets so that all left edges	align with the left
	  edge of the right-most position occupied by any widget in the	group.

   alignRight()
	   void	alignRight(void);


	  Reposition all widgets so that the right side	of each	widget is
	  moved	to align with the right	edge of	the right-most widget in the
	  group.

   alignTop()
	   void	alignTop(void);

VkAlignmentGroup(3x)					  VkAlignmentGroup(3x)



	  Reposition all widgets so that the top of each widget	aligns with
	  the top edge of the bottom-most widget in the	group.

   alignBottom()
	   void	alignBottom(void);


	  Reposition all widgets so that the bottom of each widget aligns with
	  the bottom-most edge of any widget in	the group.

   alignWidth()
	   void	alignWidth(void);


	  Change all widgets' widths to	the width of the largest widget	in the
	  group.

   alignHeight()
	   void	alignHeight(void);


	  Change all widgets' heights to the height of the largest widget in
	  the group.

   distributeVertical()
	   void	distributeVertical(void);


	  Reposition all widgets so that they are positioned evenly in the
	  vertical direction, according	to the spacing between widgets,
	  between the position of the first and	last widgets in	the group.

   distributeHorizontal()
	   void	distributeHorizontal(void);


	  Reposition all widgets so that they are positioned evenly in the
	  horizontal direction,	according to the spacing between widgets,
	  between the position of the first and	last widgets in	the group.

   makeNormal()
	   void	makeNormal(void);


	  Return all widgets to	their desired widths and heights.

   width()
	   Dimension width(void);

VkAlignmentGroup(3x)					  VkAlignmentGroup(3x)



	  Return the maximum width of all widgets in the group.	 This function
	  is valid only	after a	call to	one of the alignment functions.

   height()
	   Dimension height(void);


	  Return the maximum height of all widgets in the group.  This
	  function is valid only after a call to one of	the alignment
	  functions.

   x()
	   Position x(void);


	  Return the minimum x position	of all widgets in the group. This
	  function is valid only after a call to one of	the alignment
	  functions.

   y()
	   Position y(void);


	  Return the minimum y position	of all widgets in the group.  This
	  function is valid only after a call to one of	the alignment
	  functions.
