Arranging Your Widgets
Layouts are used to arrange widgets in a perticular manner:
AnchorLayout: widgets can be anchored to 'top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right', 'center'
BoxLayout: widgets are arranged in a box in either 'vertical' or 'horizontal' orientation
FloatLayout: Widgets are essentially unrestricted
RelativeLayout: Child widgets are positioned relative to the layout.
GridLayout: widgets are arranged in a grid defined by `rows` and `cols` properties
StackLayout: widgets are stacked in `lr-tb` (left to right then top to bottom) or `tb-lr` order
Size_hint: defines the size of a widget in parent space as a percentage. Values are restricted to the range 0.0 - 1.0 i.e. 0.01 = 1% and 1. = 100%. pos_hint: is used to place the widget relative to the parent.
size_hint and pos_hint are used to calculate widget’s size and position only if the value/s are not set to None. However one can set these to None and provide direct values in screen coordinates.
