<h1>Positioning a Widget<a class="headerlink" href="#positioning-a-widget" title="Permalink to this heading">¶</a></h1>
<p>Buttons, checkboxes, menus, radio buttons, and sliders collectively are termed “widgets”.  The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pos</span></code> attributed of a widget specifies its position.</p>
<p>Options:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scene.caption_anchor</span></code> (below the canvas–the default)</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scene.title_anchor</span></code> (above the canvas)</p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">print_anchor</span></code> (bottom of the page, where the print area is)</p></li>
<p>When you create a widget it is appended to the anchor point.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>For more space after the widget, insert spaces: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scene.append_to_caption('</span>&#160;&#160; <span class="pre">')</span></code>.</p></li>
<li><p>For vertical space insert carriage returns: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">scene.append_to_caption('\n\n')</span></code>.</p></li>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="wtext.html"><span class="doc">wtext</span></a> object allows you to create modifiable text in the caption or title of a canvas.</p>
