- Layout.minimumWidth
- Layout.minimumHeight
- Layout.preferredWidth
- Layout.preferredHeight

- Layout.maximumHeight
- Layout.fillWidth
- Layout.fillHeight

     RowLayout {
         id: layout
         anchors.fill: parent
         spacing: 6
         Rectangle {
             color: 'teal'
             Layout.fillWidth: true
             Layout.minimumWidth: 50
             Layout.preferredWidth: 100
             Layout.maximumWidth: 300
             Layout.minimumHeight: 150
             Text {
                 anchors.centerIn: parent
                 text: parent.width + 'x' + parent.height
             }
         }

                 anchors.centerIn: parent
                 text: parent.width + 'x' + parent.height
             }

## Property Documentation

[since QtQuick.Layouts 1.1] layoutDirection : enumeration

This property holds the layout direction of the row layout - it controls whether items are laid out from left to right or right to left. If `Qt.RightToLeft` is specified, left-aligned items will be right-aligned and right-aligned items will be left-aligned.

Possible values:

- Qt.LeftToRight (default) - Items are laid out from left to right.
- Qt.RightToLeft - Items are laid out from right to left

This property was introduced in QtQuick.Layouts 1.1.

See also GridLayout::layoutDirection and ColumnLayout::layoutDirection.

spacing : real

This property holds the spacing between each cell. The default value is `5`.
