2D Laying Out

Laying out is a feature specific to 2D scenes. Once a layouter is applied to a 2D group, all children of that group will be affected by the given layout strategy.

If the user does not want any laying out support, thus normal editing procedure is applied and no laying out is set. If the user enables laying out for some nodes, and he does not want to move by mistake any of the child nodes which are layouted, the "strict laying out" option can be enabled from File-Preferences menu, Editor - 2D section. On-demand laying out is available by pressing CTRL+ L or by calling "Edit" > "Do-Layout" menu option to trigger Candera to layout all objects in the scene

Candera supports four built-in layouters: Stack, Grid, Baseline, Overlay, and DockPanel each layouter having some specific configuration parameters.
