Using the size Parameter in Components

The size parameter lets you control how much space a component occupies in a row, enabling you to create dynamic and responsive layouts.

​
How the size Parameter Works

  • Default Behavior: All components have a default size=1.0, taking up the full width of the row.
  • Custom Sizes: You can specify a size less than 1.0 to allow multiple components to share the same row.
  • Row Limit: The combined size of components in a row cannot exceed 1.0.
  • Dependency: A component only shares a row if another component is placed after it.

​
Example: Multiple Components in One Row

Here’s an example of how to use the size parameter to arrange components in a row: 
from preswald import slider, button

# Two sliders sharing a row
slider1 = slider("Filter 1", min_val=0.0, max_val=10.0, default=5.0, size=0.5)
slider2 = slider("Filter 2", min_val=0.0, max_val=10.0, default=5.0, size=0.5)

# Button and slider sharing a row
submit_button = button("Submit", size=0.3)
threshold_slider = slider("Threshold", min_val=0.0, max_val=100.0, default=50.0, size=0.7)
  • Flexible Layouts: Multiple components with smaller sizes can fit side by side in a single row.
  • Spacing Management: Verify the combined sizes of all components in a row add up to 1.0 or less.
