Struct MarginCopy item path

Represents spacing around rectangular areas.

Margin defines the horizontal and vertical spacing that should be applied around a rectangular area. It’s commonly used with Layout to add space between the layout’s boundaries and its contents, or with Rect::inner and Rect::outer to create padded areas.

The margin values represent the number of character cells to add on each side. For horizontal margin, the space is applied to both the left and right sides. For vertical margin, the space is applied to both the top and bottom sides.

§Construction

• new - Create a new margin with horizontal and vertical spacing
• default - Create with zero margin

§Examples

use ratatui_core::layout::{Constraint, Layout, Margin, Rect};

// Create a margin of 2 cells horizontally and 1 cell vertically
let margin = Margin::new(2, 1);

// Apply directly to a rectangle
let area = Rect::new(0, 0, 80, 24);
let inner_area = area.inner(margin);

// Or use with a layout (which only accepts uniform margins)
let layout = Layout::vertical([Constraint::Fill(1)]).margin(2);
