Limitations

• Verify against current Makepad 2.0 docs; upstream APIs change frequently.
• Do not run bundled scripts without explicit user approval.

When to Use

• Build or diagnose Makepad layouts using the project's installed Splash/script DSL.
• Investigate sizing, flow, clipping, scrolling or overlay-placement problems. First identify the exact Makepad revision and DSL in the project. These sketches assume the imported 2.0-style syntax and are not compiled test fixtures; do not migrate a working application wholesale to match them. See the official Makepad repository for matching widget/source examples.

Makepad 2.0 Layout System

Makepad uses a layout turtle system -- not CSS flexbox, not CSS grid. The turtle walks through children one by one, placing each widget according to two core concepts:

• Walk -- how a widget sizes itself (width, height, margin)
• Layout -- how a container arranges its children (flow, spacing, padding, align) Every container widget (View, SolidView, RoundedView, ScrollYView, etc.) has both Walk properties (its own size) and Layout properties (how it lays out children).

Walk System (Widget Sizing)

Walk controls how an individual widget claims space inside its parent.
