I have 5 different UI's that I want to show an overview, but it could be quite long (for example configuration of the ForceField walls, a section could easly exist out of 50-ish walls, so 50 buttons next to each other). To make sure this is easy accessable in the UI, I create a scroll-pane and add a horizontal flow inside. This is how I've done it in 0.16 - where I learned creating GUIs. With the 0.17 debug options I learned alot from GUIs, and hence my request:
- If I create a flow, I can define if it needs to stack its children horizontaly or verticaly.
- If I create a frame, the game engine creates the actual visible frame, with a hidden flow inside. The API allows me to define the direction of the hidden flow in the creation of the frame.
- If I create a scroll-pane, the API states:
which the game engine creates a hidden vertical flow that can scroll, as shown in the picture. To add my horizontal buttons I have to add a horizontal flow inside instead.Factorio API wrote:Similar to a flow but includes the ability to show and use scroll bars.

My request is to expose the flow direction to the API just like is done with the frame, where we can define the direction of it:
Kind regards,New Factorio API wrote:
- Other attributes may have to be specified, depending on type
- scroll-pane
- direction :: string: The initial direction of the scroll-pane's layout. See LuaGuiElement::direction.
- horizontal_scroll_policy :: string (optional): Policy of the horizontal scroll bar, possible values are "auto" (default), "never", "always", "auto-and-reserve-space".
- vertical_scroll_policy :: string (optional): Policy of the vertical scroll bar, possible values are "auto" (default), "never", "always", "auto-and-reserve-space".
