Hi fellow GEFers,
I have a figure with a FlowLayout as layout manager.
I would now like to change the location for one of its children in order
to simulate that the child has a margin.
Is it feasible or do I have to use XYLayout in order to manipulate location?
Regards,
Marcus Ludvigson

Brian,
I'm building a GUI-editor with support for a Docking Layout-type that I
simulated using FlowLayout/ToolbarLayout. But then came margins as the
next development item. I just love incremental development :-).
I changed layout manager to DelegatingLayout so that each child can
handle each own layout. Easier to slip while coding, but necessary for
my needs.
Thanks for your reply,
Marcus Ludvigson

What about using a MarginBorder? Another possibility is enhance FlowLayout
to handle some constraint object, and submit a patch to us :-)
