Tutorial EzLang Manual Sizing

It is possible to set an absolute size for widgets manually. Keep in mind that size_hint will overwrite any manual sizes, so it has to be turned off in those cases. Let's say you want a button to always have 10 width and 3 height:

- Layout:
    mode: box
    - Button:
        text: Click me
        size_hint: none, none
        size: 15, 7

The button will now always be fixed in size. It is of course possible to use absolute size for only one axis, while the other axis uses size_hint or auto_scale:

- Layout:
    mode: box
    - Button:
        text: Click me
        size_hint_y: none
        height: 3

The button will now be fixed to height 3, but its width will scale to the width of the parent layout (because the default is "size_hint: 1, 1").
