SpaceBox

The SpaceBox widget is a fixed-size box that occupies empty space at the size you specify.
Use it to create explicit, consistent spacing between widgets.

Definition and role

The SpaceBox widget draws an empty box that has only a width (width) and a height (height). It has no text, background, or border and simply takes up space, which makes it the right tool for inserting a fixed gap between other widgets.

• Category: Dividers (dividers and spacing)
• Created at a default size of 20 × 20.

Notes and tips

tip

SpaceBox is a pure spacing widget whose size comes from just two values, width and height. It has no visible elements such as text, a background, or a border.

note

To create a gap between widgets, drop a SpaceBox inside a layout such as Row or Column. The larger the value, the wider the gap.
