Detailed Description

Base class for objects that can be used to automatically position a component according to some kind of algorithm.

The component class simply holds onto a reference to a Positioner, but doesn't actually do anything with it - all the functionality must be implemented by the positioner itself (e.g. it might choose to watch some kind of value and move the component when the value changes).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Component::Positioner::Positioner ( Component component)
explicitnoexcept

Creates a Positioner which can control the specified component.

virtual Component::Positioner::~Positioner ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

Component& Component::Positioner::getComponent ( ) const
noexcept

Returns the component that this positioner controls.

References JUCE_DECLARE_NON_COPYABLE_WITH_LEAK_DETECTOR.

virtual void Component::Positioner::applyNewBounds ( const Rectangle< int > &  newBounds)
pure virtual

Attempts to set the component's position to the given rectangle.

Unlike simply calling Component::setBounds(), this may involve the positioner being smart enough to adjust itself to fit the new bounds, e.g. a RelativeRectangle's positioner may try to reverse the expressions used to make them fit these new coordinates.
