Layout with Designer Support: Anchoring

This sample is for version 4.0 and upward. This sample demonstrates how to implement complex, recursive layout algorithms, and how to provide designer support to edit properties controlling layout:

Complex Anchoring Sample

In version 4.1 we hope to provide general purpose layout support, so you can use several built-in algorithms, as well as provide your own algorithms, all with design-time support.

The "anchoring" algorithm here differs from traditional layout in that Elements are allowed to overlap.

Note: The mathematics are dense for the layout algorithm provided. For a simple anchoring sample please use this:
