* Stop using top level properties for vertical/horizontal
* No abbreviations
* Use height/width instead of size
* Don't use methods where properties can be used
This is long overdue. A bit of historical context. The grid API
is losely somewhat based on the old `radical` module, but was
heavily improved by @getzze. That version had row_span and col_span.
This made the way the previous implementation coded the border
incompatible. I spent some time back then trying to bolt it back on,
but the complexity is quite high and never made it work right.
This commit goes in another direction. Rather than draw the border,
it creates a mask where the border should *not* be, then bucket fill
the widget. This is the equivalent of CSS `border-collapse`.
It also support custom borders. This allows dashed lines and partial
borders.
The main use case will be to add border support to the calendar. It
was previously possible to partially do it using custom cell painters,
but was pretty hacky. Now that the calendar will deprecate the custom
painters in favor of `widget_template`s, a more robust alternative was
required.
The drawback of this commit is obviously the added complexity to the
most complex layout. This is why it adds many tests to cover the various
corner cases.
This is already used in the `wibox.layout.manual` layout. It makes
the widget easier to use. Previously, using the imperative syntax
was necessary for most grids.
The goal is to catch cases where the return value exists, but is
forgotten. There was a large enough number of them to turn this
into a real check. Initially, I just wanted to implement it to fix
the problems, then delete the code. But since this is so common, I
think it is worth the annoyance.
Now always call both check_widget and make_widget_from_value. This
should make it a lot less confusing when randomly trying to create
a widget as all ways to do it slowly converge toward an unified
one.
ldoc has a magical `@classmod` module type which tries to detect
what is a method and what is a static function. It fails about as
often as it works. This commit makes everything explicit to remove
such issues.
