layout-spacing

Arguments: object-editor

Returns the layout-spacing object of an object-editor dialog. The value may be set at creation time with the layout-spacing initarg, or any time later by calling (setf layout-spacing). Typically a custom layout-spacing (if used) should be provided when the object-editor is created so that it is used for the initial widget layout.

Code for creating an object-editor with a layout-spacing could look something like this code fragment:

(make-window :my-object-editor
  :class 'object-editor
  :edited-class ...
  :edited-slots ...
  :layout-spacing (make-instance 'layout-spacing
                    :layout-widget-spacing 4
                    :layout-outer-margin 12
                    ...))

The value should be a layout-spacing object that was created by calling make-instance on the layout-spacing class. If a new object-editor is not explicitly given a layout-spacing object at creation time, then a layout-spacing object with default values is created automatically and given to the object-editor.
