<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>There are several ways to position items in QML.</p>
<p>Below is a brief overview. For more details, see <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-positioning-topic.html">Important Concepts In Qt Quick - Positioning</a>.</p>
<a name="manual-positioning"></a>
<h2 id="manual-positioning">Manual Positioning</h2>
<p>Items can be placed at specific x,y coordinates on the screen by setting their x,y properties. This will setup their position relative to the top left corner of their parent, according to the <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-visualcanvas-coordinates.html">visual coordinate system</a> rules.</p>
<p>Combined with using <a href="../qtqml/qtqml-syntax-propertybinding.html">bindings</a> instead of constant valudes for these properties, relative positioning is also easily accomplished by setting the x and y coordinates to the appropriate bindings.</p>
<pre class="qml">import QtQuick 2.3

<span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">100</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">100</span>

}
}</pre>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qml-uses-layouts-direct.png" alt="" /></p><a name="anchors"></a>
<h2 id="anchors">Anchors</h2>
<p>The <code>Item</code> type provides the abilitiy to anchor to other <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-item.html">Item</a> types. There are six anchor lines for each item: <i>left</i>, <i>right</i>, <i>vertical center</i>, <i>top</i>, <i>bottom</i> and <i>horizontal center</i>. The three vertical anchor lines can be anchored to any of the three vertical anchor lines of another item, and the three horizontal anchor lines can be anchored to the horizontal anchor lines of another item.</p>
<p>For full details, see <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-positioning-anchors.html">Positioning with Anchors</a> and the documentation of the <a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-item.html#anchors.top-prop">anchors property</a>.</p>

<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qml-uses-layouts-anchors.png" alt="" /></p><a name="positioners"></a>
<h2 id="positioners">Positioners</h2>
<p>For the common case of wanting to <i>position</i> a set of types in a regular pattern, Qt Quick provides some positioner types. Items placed in a positioner are automatically positioned in some way; for example, a <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-positioning-layouts.html#row">Row</a> positions items to be horizontally adjacent (forming a row).</p>
<p>For full details see <a href="../qtquick/qtquick-positioning-layouts.html">Item Positioners</a> and the documentation for <a href="../qtpositioning/qtpositioning-qmlmodule.html">the positioner types</a>.</p>
<pre class="qml">import QtQuick 2.3

<span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">300</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">100</span>
<span class="type"><a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-row.html">Row</a></span> { <span class="comment">// The "Row" type lays out its child items in a horizontal line</span>

<span class="type"><a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a></span> { <span class="name">width</span>: <span class="number">80</span>; <span class="name">height</span>: <span class="number">80</span>; <span class="name">color</span>: <span class="string">"green"</span> }

}
}</pre>
<p class="centerAlign"><img src="images/qml-uses-layouts-positioners.png" alt="" /></p><a name="layout-types"></a>
<h2 id="layout-types">Layout Types</h2>
<p><i>Layout types</i> function in a similar way as positioners but allow further refinement or restrictions to the layout. Specifically, the layout types allow you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>set the alignment of text and other items</li>
<li>resize and fill the allotted application areas automatically</li>
<li>set size constraints such as minimum or maximum dimensions</li>
<li>set the spacing between items within the layout</li>
</ul>
