Using AnchorLayout

AnchorLayout aligns the children to a border or center. In this recipe, we will learn to align two buttons in a border.

How to do it…

In this recipe, follow the next steps:

1. In the KV file, provide the anchor_x and anchor_y properties.
2. Define two buttons using the following code:

   <MyW>:
       anchor_x: 'right'
       anchor_y: 'bottom'
       Button:
           id: label1
           size_hint: .2, .2
           text: 'B1'
       Button:
           id: label2
           size_hint: .1, .1
           text: 'B2'

3. In the Python file, define a class as an AnchorLayout reference for the rule of the KV file using the following code:

   import kivy from kivy.app import App from kivy.uix.anchorlayout import AnchorLayout from kivy.clock import Clock class MyW(AnchorLayout): pass class e11App(App): def build(self): return MyW() if __name__ ...
