How to make it center

Posted on by IT-17100943-0 6
Hi, 
 
Im developing an app with a layout like this one. Do you know how to center the items inside the container? I’ve been using left and right padding based on the screen size to achieve this design, but I’m looking for better solutions

    To centre a single element Vertically, the Y would be 
    Parent.Height/2 - Self.Height/2
    and horizontally - the X 
    Parent.Width/2 - Self.Width/2
    It gets a bit more complex with two elements, but the principle is the same.
    Left Element
    (Parent.Width - Self.Width * 2) / 3

    Right Element
    With(
    {_Gap: (Parent.Width - Self.Width * 2) / 3},
    Parent.Width - _Gap - Self.Width
)
