When I look at the drawn borders, I see that anchoring the child rectangles strechtes them, and so they have the wanted size or am I fundamentally wrong?
If the only way of giving a “real size” to them was to give a width and height, then it would get much complicated when the parent size changes…
Yes they get stretched and thus get a size. What I mentioned earlier was anchoring to horizontalCenter and verticalCenter wont stretch them.
ONLY using verticalCenter / horizontalCenter sould move the whole rectangle to the middle of its parent, so the middle lines are the same but width and height can still be minimal! Right? BUT, in combination with anchor.top / anchor.left —> it can not “move” to the center anymore, so result is streching the rectangle and I get the wanted effect! Is that right?
verticalCenter / horizontalCenter will position it to the center provided size is specified. The problem is that you cant use top, bottom, and verticalCenter anchors at the same time OR left, right, and horizontalCenter anchors at the same time. AFAIK verticalCenter and horizontalCenter will be ignored in that case.
