Layout system

[KSemenenko]

Let's add drawable Layouts like Grid, or Stack or so.
And then we can do like this:

<alohakit:CanvasView> 
   <alohakit:StackLayout>
      <alohakit:RoundRectangle
          WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="50" 
          CornerRadius="12, 0, 0, 24"
          Fill="Orange" />
          <alohakit:Grid>
            <alohakit:RoundRectangle
                WidthRequest="50" HeightRequest="50" 
                CornerRadius="12, 0, 0, 24"
                Fill="Orange" />
          </alohakit:Grid>
   </alohakit:StackLayout> 
</alohakit:CanvasView>

Of course naming is random, but the idea is - to have one canvas with a lot if graphic introls inside.

so we no need X and Y now, also we can create complicated laytous.
@jsuarezruiz can you guid me plese do you have some like
SizeRequest OnMeasure(double widthConstraint, double heightConstraint) functions?

We definitely need this, according to me ScrollView is also a layout we must have (besides Stack and Grid).

[KSemenenko]

I have code for it, it was implemented some times ago with skiasharp.
But I need some guidance how we can integrate it in better way

Definitely, after having gestures and other important Core APIs, Layouts is the next big step forward. I am going to prepare a PR with a basic prototype and we can iterate continue from it. Sounds good?

Sound good! Waiting for it

[nextcodelab]

Maybe Im waiting to have Parent layout like scrollview.. stack,,, gridview, listview... from drawings... I am tired and thinking go to flutter because of lag in .net maui xaml that undergo 50 compilation before it landed on native UI.

Any update?

[jsuarezruiz]

Very soon.

[nextcodelab]

Very soon.

I like this,,, thanks for this,, I hope every UI Control is breaking down for single task to make it more performant like flutter.
Column => for only column task,
Row => for only row task
Expand => to expand available space
Fraction => Divide children base on available space.
Divider => for divider task,
SizeBox => for spacing.
Padding => for padding task
Center => for centering task
