Layout
======
Layouts are used to calculate and assign widget positions.
The :class:`Layout` class itself cannot be used directly.
You should use one of the following layout classes:
- Anchor layout: :class:`kivy.uix.anchorlayout.AnchorLayout`
- Box layout: :class:`kivy.uix.boxlayout.BoxLayout`
- Float layout: :class:`kivy.uix.floatlayout.FloatLayout`
- Grid layout: :class:`kivy.uix.gridlayout.GridLayout`
- Page Layout: :class:`kivy.uix.pagelayout.PageLayout`
- Relative layout: :class:`kivy.uix.relativelayout.RelativeLayout`
- Scatter layout: :class:`kivy.uix.scatterlayout.ScatterLayout`
- Stack layout: :class:`kivy.uix.stacklayout.StackLayout`
Understanding the `size_hint` Property in `Widget`
--------------------------------------------------
The :attr:`~kivy.uix.Widget.size_hint` is a tuple of values used by
layouts to manage the sizes of their children. It indicates the size
relative to the layout's size instead of an absolute size (in
pixels/points/cm/etc). The format is::
widget.size_hint = (width_percent, height_percent)
The percent is specified as a floating point number in the range 0-1. For
example, 0.5 is 50%, 1 is 100%.
If you want a widget's width to be half of the parent's width and the
height to be identical to the parent's height, you would do::
widget.size_hint = (0.5, 1.0)
If you don't want to use a size_hint for either the width or height, set the
value to None. For example, to make a widget that is 250px wide and 30%
of the parent's height, do::
widget.size_hint = (None, 0.3)
widget.width = 250
Being :class:`Kivy properties <kivy.properties>`, these can also be set via
constructor arguments::
widget = Widget(size_hint=(None, 0.3), width=250)
.. versionchanged:: 1.4.1
The `reposition_child` internal method (made public by mistake) has
been removed.
