Add a game obejct to grid sizer

gridSizer.add(child, column, row);

or

gridSizer.add(child,
    {
        column: 0,

    }
);

or

gridSizer.add(child, column, row, align, padding, expand, key);

child : A game object
column, row : Index of grid to add.
- column and row are numbers : Insert game object to cell (column, row).
  - Do nothing if that cell has item already.
- column and row are undefined : Search each column, each row to find an empty cell for inserting.
  - Add an new row (gridSizer.addEmptyRow()) if last row was full, then find an empty cell in new row.
- column is undefined, and row is true : Search each row, each column to find an empty cell for inserting.
  - Add an new column (gridSizer.addEmptyColumn()) if last column was full, then find an empty cell in new column.
- column is a number, and row is undefined : Search each row of column column to find an empty cell for inserting.

Insert empty row/column¶

Insert an empty row
```
gridSizer.insertEmptyRow(rowIndex);
// gridSizer.insertEmptyRow(rowIndex, proportion, space);
```

```
- proportion : Proportion of this new column.
  - undefined : Use proportion of 1^st column as default value.
- space : Space between this new column and previous column.
  - undefined : Use space of 1^st column as default value.

Add an empty row

gridSizer.addEmptyColumn();
// gridSizer.addEmptyColumn(colIndex, proportion, space);

Proportion¶

Set proportion of each column or row via

gridSizer.setColumnProportion(columnIndex, proportion);
gridSizer.setRowProportion(rowIndex, proportion);

Layout children¶

Arrange position of all children.

gridSizer.layout();

Grid index <-> child¶

Grid index -> child

var child = gridSizer.getChildAt(columnIndex, rowIndex);

Child -> grid index

var gridIndex = gridSizer.childToGridIndex(child);
// var gridIndex = gridSizer.childToGridIndex(child, out);

gridIndex : {x, y}, or null if child is not belong this sizer.

Remove child¶

Remove a child

gridSizer.remove(child);

or

gridSizer.removeAt(columnIndex, rowIndex);

Remove and destroy a child

gridSizer.remove(child, true);

or

gridSizer.removeAt(columnIndex, rowIndex, true);

Remove all children
```
gridSizer.removeAll();
```
Remove and destroy all children
```
gridSizer.removeAll(true);
```
Remove all children and backgrounds
```
gridSizer.clear();
```
Remove and destroy all children and backgrounds
```
gridSizer.clear(true);
```
Remove from parent sizer
```
sizer.removeFromParentSizer();
```

Grid size¶

Amount of column

var columnCount = gridSizer.columnCount;

Amount of row
```
var rowCount = gridSizer.rowCount;
```
Amount of grid = columnCount * rowCount
```
var gridCount = gridSizer.gridCount;
```

Get element¶

Get element

All children items

var items = gridSizer.getElement('items');

Get by name

var gameObject = gridSizer.getElement('#' + name);
// var gameObject = gridSizer.getElement('#' + name, recursive);

or

var gameObject = gridSizer.getByName(name);
// var gameObject = gridSizer.getByName(name, recursive);

recursive : Set true to search all children recursively.

Get child index¶

var index = sizer.getChildIndex(child);

index : A number, or null.

Reset grid¶

sizer.resetGrid(column, row, columnProportions, rowProportions, space);

column : Amount of column grids.
row : Amount of row grids.
columnProportions, rowProportions : Proportion of each column/row.
- Number : Apply this number proportion to each column/row
- Number array : Apply proportion of column/row through elements of this number array.
space :
- space.column : Space between 2 columns
  - A number
  - A number array
- space.row : Space between 2 rows
  - A number
  - A number array

Note

Children game objects will be removed without destroyed.

Note

Will invoke createCellContainerCallback to create cellContainer of each cell.
