Forms Layout

Layout

Layout object is the way to specify relative fields placements and sizes.

from material import *

layout = Layout(
    Row('shipment_no', 'description')
    Fieldset("Add to inventory",
             Row(Span3('product_name'), 'tags'),
             Row('vendor', 'product_type'),
             Row(Column('sku',
                        'stock_level',
                        span_columns=4),
                 'gender', 'desired_gender'),
             Row('cost_price', Span2('wholesale_price'), 'retail_price')))

SpanXX elements are not bound to the material grid classes but used to determine relative fields width. Each row occupies 12 grid columns. Elements in Row(‘elem1’, ‘elem2’) would be rendered in 6 grid columns each. In the Row(Span2(‘elem1’), ‘elem2’), elem1 would have eight grid columns and elem2 four grid columns.
