LayoutAxis

The LayoutAxis structure holds configuration for a specific orientation axis used in layout analysis. Layout analysis involves two axes:

Axis 0 (Primary): The direction of flow within a line.
Axis 1 (Secondary): The direction in which lines are stacked.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Description
`elementCount`	int	Expected number of elements along this axis.
`isStaggered`	bool	Whether the layout uses an offset/staggered (brick-like) pattern.
`angle`	int	Target angle in degrees [0, 180].
`isEqualSpacing`	bool	Force equal gaps between elements.
`spacing`	int	Spacing between elements along this axis.
`spacingUnit`	MeasureUnit	Interpretation mode for the spacing value.

elementCount

Expected number of elements along this axis. Use -1 for auto-detection.

int elementCount = -1;

isStaggered

Whether the layout uses an offset/staggered (brick-like) pattern.

bool isStaggered = false;

angle

Target angle in degrees [0, 180]. Use -1 for auto-detection.

int angle = -1;

isEqualSpacing

Force equal gaps between elements. When false, spacing is ignored.

bool isEqualSpacing = false;

spacing

Spacing between elements along this axis. Use -1 for auto-detection.

In MU_PIXEL mode: absolute pixel count.
In MU_PERCENTAGE mode: percentage of the element’s characteristic size (e.g., 200 = 200% = twice the reference width).

int spacing = -1;

spacingUnit

Interpretation mode for the spacing value.

MeasureUnit spacingUnit = MU_PIXEL;
