Enter place holder text that PhixFlow will display when the input field is empty. The text is shown slightly greyed out to distinguish it from text that is entered by the user, or read-only text.

The number representing how much a component can resize.

When you have several components, PhixFlow uses the difference in their numbers to allocate space. For example, if you have 3 components (A, B and C) with their grow factor set to:

• the same value, 1,  for all components, PhixFlow allocates the available space equally to components A, B and C
• different values, A=1, B=2 and C=3, PhixFlow divides the space into 6 equal portions and allocates:
  • 1 portion to A
  • 2 portions to B
  • 3 portions to C.

If a direction is selected, components inside this container will be distributed in the selected direction.

• Row - Components will be distributed as a single row, in order. The components will shrink to fit if the window is made smaller than the width of the components.
• Row Reverse- Components will be distributed in rows, in reverse order.
• Column - Components will be distributed as a single column, in order. If the window height is made smaller only components with Auto Size ticked will be resized.
• Column Reverse - Components will be distributed as column in reverse order.

This field is only visible if a direction is selected. Wrap affects how the components wrap when there is less space available.

• Wrap - wrap the components starting with either the right column, or the bottom row.
• Wrap Reverse - wrap the components starting with the left column or the top row.
• No Wrap - never wrap. 

This field is only visible if a direction is selected. Justify affects the position of the components in the direction set (horizontal for row, vertical for column). 

• Flex Start - Components will be positioned from the start edge of the container, with no spacing between them.
• Flex End - Components will be positioned so the last component aligns with the end edge of the container, with no spacing between them.
• Center - Components will be centred in the direction set, with no spacing between them, and equal spacing between the edge of the container and the first and last component.
• Space Around - Distribute components with even spacing around each component.
• Space Between - Distribute components with even spacing between each component, but no spacing between the component and the container.

This field is only visible if a direction is selected. Align affects the position of the components perpendicular to the direction set (vertical for row, horizontal for column).

• Flex Start - Components will be positioned from the start edge of the container, with no spacing between them.
• Flex End - Components will be positioned so the last component aligns with the end edge of the container, with no spacing between them.
• Center - Components will be centred, with no spacing between them, and equal spacing between the edge of the container and the first and last component.
• Baseline - Position components so their baselines align.
• Stretch - Components with no size set in this direction will have their size increased to fill the container in this direction.
• Space Around - Distribute components with even spacing around each component.
