Family - Space

This page unifies related iced::widget APIs for the Space family.

# API surfaces

# Surface summaries

# Module

Add some explicit spacing between elements.

# Constructor

Creates some empty Space with no size.

# Element

An amount of empty space.

# Verified constructor signature

pub fn space() -> Space

# Verified element declaration

# Use this when...

  • You want one page that links module, constructor, and element surfaces.
  • You are deciding which API surface to start from.
  • You need a practical map for this widget domain.

# Minimal example

rust
// Typical flow:
// 1) Start with constructor usage.
// 2) Move to module docs for style/state details.
// 3) Use element docs for type-level control.

# How it works

Family pages connect related docs so you do not miss capabilities that are split across constructor/module/element pages.

# Common patterns

rust
// Build with constructor APIs first,
// then refine behavior/styles through related module and element docs.

# Gotchas / tips

  • Family routes normalize naming; module/function/struct names may differ slightly.
  • Prefer this page as your entrypoint when learning unfamiliar widgets.
  • Follow example references here before inventing integration patterns.
