x = myScreen.screenSizeX();
y = myScreen.screenSizeY();
dx = x / 5;
dy = y / 4;

Place and size the elements

Place and size each element using the grid-based dx and dy sizes in pixels.

Example

The horizontal plus-minus combined button is placed on the first and second columns of the last line of the grid.

plusMinus myPlusMinus1;
myPlusMinus1.dDefine(0, dy * 3, dx * 2, dy);
myPlusMinus1.setOption(optionHorizontal);
myPlusMinus1.setState(stateEnabled);
myPlusMinus1.draw();

Check the result

Final result is

As an additional benefit, the page is automatically adapted when taking another size of screen.

Example

The same page on the 176x264 2.71” (top or left) and the 240x416 3.70” (bottom or right). Screens are to size.
