SpecTableLayout & TableLayoutProperties

Hi,

it is my understanding that I should be able to change table layout properties with stuff like cellPositioning: / listCentering: / etc.

However nothing I do have any change.

Am I using it incorrectly, or is this not (properly) implemented?

example: (the cell content is placed in #topLeft despite specifying positioning and centering)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|ui layout|

ui := DynamicComposableModel new.

ui instantiateModels: #(

cell11 LabelModel

cell12 LabelModel

cell21 LabelModel

cell22 LabelModel

ui cell11 label: '1-1'.

ui cell12 label: '1-2'.

ui cell21 label: '2-1'.

ui cell22 label: '2-2'.

layout := SpecTableLayout column

cellPositioning: #center;

listCentering: #bottomRight;

newRow: [ :r | r

add: #cell11;

add: #cell12 ];

newRow: [ :r | r

add: #cell21;

add: #cell22];

yourself.

ui openWithSpecLayout: layout.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks,

Peter

Re: SpecTableLayout & TableLayoutProperties

It looks like I replied to Peter Uhnák directly, so I copy my message here:

If you open halo menu on topmost [in hierarchy] PanelMorph in window, you can see that layout properties have been set properly.

By default hResizing and vResizing are set to #spaceFill in SpecTableLayout, so:
1. rows are the same width - therefore cellPositioning doesn't matter
2. rows are occupying the whole height - therefore listCentering doesn't matter

The following layout will allow to see effects of listCentering and cellPositioning (btw cellPositioning is #center by default):

layout := SpecTableLayout column
cellPositioning: #center;
listCentering: #bottomRight;
newRow: [ :r | r
vResizing: #shrinkWrap;
width: 120;
add: #cell11;
add: #cell12 ];
newRow: [ :r | r
vResizing: #shrinkWrap;
add: #cell21;
add: #cell22];
yourself.
