Hierarchy

This is a layout that inherits the anchoring of Ext.layout.container.Anchor and adds the ability for x/y positioning using the standard x and y component config options.

This class is intended to be extended or created via the layout configuration property. See Ext.container.Container.layout for additional details.

Ext.layout.container.Absolute container layout

Example usage:

Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
    title: 'Absolute Layout',
    width: 300,
    height: 275,
    layout:'absolute',
    layoutConfig: {
        // layout-specific configs go here
        //itemCls: 'x-abs-layout-item',
    },
    url:'save-form.php',
    defaultType: 'textfield',
    items: [{
        x: 10,
        y: 10,
        xtype:'label',
        text: 'Send To:'
    },{
        x: 80,
        y: 10,
        name: 'to',
        anchor:'90%'  // anchor width by percentage
    },{
        x: 10,
        y: 40,
        xtype:'label',
        text: 'Subject:'
    },{
        x: 80,
        y: 40,
        name: 'subject',
        anchor: '90%'  // anchor width by percentage
    },{
        x:0,
        y: 80,
        xtype: 'textareafield',
        name: 'msg',
        anchor: '100% 100%'  // anchor width and height
    }],
    renderTo: Ext.getBody()
});

This configuation option is to be applied to child items of a container managed by this layout (ie. configured with layout:'anchor').


This value is what tells the layout how an item should be anchored to the container. items added to an AnchorLayout accept an anchoring-specific config property of anchor which is a string containing two values: the horizontal anchor value and the vertical anchor value (for example, '100% 50%'). The following types of anchor values are supported:

  • Percentage : Any value between 1 and 100, expressed as a percentage.
    The first anchor is the percentage width that the item should take up within the container, and the second is the percentage height. For example:
    // two values specified
    anchor: '100% 50%' // render item complete width of the container and
                       // 1/2 height of the container
    // one value specified
    anchor: '100%'     // the width value; the height will default to auto
    
  • Offsets : Any positive or negative integer value.
    This is a raw adjustment where the first anchor is the offset from the right edge of the container, and the second is the offset from the bottom edge. For example:
    // two values specified
    anchor: '-50 -100' // render item the complete width of the container
                       // minus 50 pixels and
                       // the complete height minus 100 pixels.
    // one value specified
    anchor: '-50'      // anchor value is assumed to be the right offset value
                       // bottom offset will default to 0
    
  • Sides : Valid values are 'right' (or 'r') and 'bottom' (or 'b').
    Either the container must have a fixed size or an anchorSize config value defined at render time in order for these to have any effect.
  • Mixed :
    Anchor values can also be mixed as needed. For example, to render the width offset from the container right edge by 50 pixels and 75% of the container's height use:
    anchor: '-50 75%'
