Question

What is the purpose of using "fixed: 1 1;" in a part's description in EDC files?

For example:

part {
    name: "abc";
    type: TEXTBLOCK;
    description {
        state: "default" 0.0;
        fixed: 1 1;  // What does this do?
        rel1.relative: 0.5 1.0;
        rel2.relative: 0.5 1.0;
        text.align: 0.5 0.5;
    }
}

Answer

Problem Understanding

The user wants to understand the functionality of the fixed: 1 1; property in EDC (Edje Data Collection) files, specifically how it affects part behavior in Tizen applications.

Solution Methods

The fixed property controls how a part behaves during minimum size calculations.
It takes two boolean parameters (0 or 1) for width and height respectively.
When set to 1, it indicates that the part should maintain its size in that dimension during layout calculations.

Code Examples

part {
    name: "fixed_example";
    type: RECT;
    description {
        state: "default" 0.0;
        fixed: 1 0;  // Fixed width, flexible height
        min: 100 50;
    }
}

Additional Tips

Setting fixed: 1 1 means the part won't change size in either dimension during layout calculations.
The default value is 0 0, meaning both dimensions are flexible.
This property is particularly useful when you want to prevent certain UI elements from resizing when the container changes size.
