spaceUseStrategy

What is spaceUseStrategy?

The spaceUseStrategy attribute in cimdoc v4 controls how item space is allocated within a subpanel. To unlock this feature, a subpanel must have a stackDirection attribute.

Strategies

• fill-remaining: Items expand to fill all available space in the container, sharing space according to their shares.
• auto: Items are sized as specified in their width and height. If the width and height are missing, the item will be measured to determin the size.

Example

          {
            "itemType": "subpanel",
