This project adds a simple to use layout class to align components of the JUCE framework (www.juce.com) next to each others.

Find the api-documentation here: https://ffAudio.github.io/ffLayouts/

The highlights: In the Tools folder is a LayoutEditor. You can create layouts as XML definitions and show them with placeholders to see how the space would be distributed.

To use the layout in a JUCE component it is easiest to add a Layout member to the component, load the layout definition via ValueTree, e.g. from an XML file from BinaryData. Call in the resized() callback layout->updateGeometry() and all child components are layouted according to the XML definition.

Other features: Only one member variable necessary Self contained with SafePointers to the components to minimize risk of dangling pointers Stretch factors to distribute the available space proportionally Restrict minimum and maximum sizes of items Add sublayouts nested horizontally and vertically in each directions Add labels and GroupComponents from XML definition Movable splitters to split layouts interactively Add spacers between components

Have fun using it... Daniel
