Box

The box is a generic container for any widgets, boxes leverage the layout model from the BeeWare Colosseum package.

Usage

A box can be instantiated with no children and then the children added later

import toga

box = toga.Box('box1')

button = toga.Button('Hello world', on_press=button_handler)
box.add(button)

To create boxes within boxes, use the children argument.

import toga

box_a = toga.Box('box_a')
box_b = toga.Box('box_b)

box = toga.Box('box', children=[box_a, box_b])

Styling of boxes through colosseum can be done pre instantiation or post,

import toga

box = toga.Box('box1')

box.style.set(flex_direction='column', padding_top=10)

import toga
from colosseum import CSS

style = CSS(padding_top=10)
box = toga.Box('box', style=style)
