Homogeneous Box Packing Patterns

There are only two interesting ways to pack a homogeneous box. Recall that the expand parameter is irrelevant for homogeneous boxes; so the two cases correspond to the fill parameter's setting.

If fill is FALSE, you get Figure 9. Notice that the box is logically divided into three equal parts, but only the largest child widget occupies its entire space. The others are padded to fill their third of the area. If fill is TRUE, you get Figure 10; all the widgets are the same size.

Figure 9. Homogeneous, with fill = FALSE

Figure 10. Homogeneous, with fill = TRUE
