Hi,

Actually, I just through of a possible issue with children assigned
alignment. For the parent panel, there is a halign property, For
example, if parent width is 50, each child's width is 10, there are
three halign values:

halign = right
b1  b2  b3  empty
10  10  10  20

halign = center
b1  empty b2  empty  b3
10    10    10     10     10

halign = right
empty b1  b2  b3
20      10  10   10

halign is obviously not belonged to children, so you might write it as:

panel{
 direction = left_to_right
 halign = center
 panel{ id ="bb" ;valign = center}
 panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = top}
 panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = bottom}
 }
}

But then there is problem, as panel can be children as well, for example:

panel {
 id = "top"
 direction = top_to_bottom

panel{
 id = "aa"
 direction = left_to_right
 halign = center
 panel{ id ="bb" ;valign = center}
 panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = top}
 panel{ id ="bb" ; valign = bottom}
 }
}
}

In this case, should halign of aa be used to control its own alignment
from top, or that of its children ?
