Module StaticGrid

Component to handle component's position by row and columns.

# Overview #

The Static Grid component allows for positioning components in rows and columns. It provides a static grid layout with constant node sizes, allowing for pre-calculated node positions and the option to include gaps between nodes.

# Notes #

• In a static grid, the node size remains constant, enabling the calculation of node positions before placement. If you want add gaps between nodes, increase the root prefab size, including the padding and margin.

• The static grid can automatically shift elements when nodes are added or removed.

• When a node is added, the grid will set the node's parent to the specified parent_node.

• You can obtain an array of positions for each element, which can be used to set points of interest in a scroll component.

• The size of all elements can be retrieved for setting up the size in a scroll component.

• The grid can be bound to a scroll component for automatic resizing of the scroll content size.

• The pivot of the parent_node affects the node placement within the grid.

• A prefab node is used to determine the node size and anchor.

• You can specify a position_function for animations using the _static_grid:set_position_function(node, pos) callback. The default position function is gui.set_position().
