Layout design in GUI Composer

Hi, what is the recommended way of controlling widget layout in GUI Composer? I tried to add two widgets where the second is below the first, but it was placed directly to the right. I could get more control using a table. Is this the best way?

    Hi Stian,

    You should be able to drag and drop the widget and use the keyboard to find tune the position. Make sure you have absolute coordinate setting enabled. The setting is at the top right of the window.

    I meant using Flow method, I suppose this is meant to specify relative positions instead of absolute (which I think is the better way). How is the Flow method intended to be used?

    Flow is intended to have widget align to left or right on a single line. The next widget that you drop in will automatic warp around onto the next line if there is no remaining space available on the previous line.

    The amount of space allocated for each widget is different. So that is the reason that flow works better if the widgets are contained within a container. ie table or div. I would choose a div container if I want fine control of the widget positioning and a table if I want I want to wipe something up very quickly.
