Usage
Text can be used to explain something, to be descriptive, to notify, and many other things text can be used for. When being effective with text, basic graphic design principles apply even to something simple as text.
Examples
Here we start with a parent that has a VerticalLayout component with ForceExpandWidth and ForceExpandHeight set.
The first child contains text, with no LayoutElement.
The second child is an Image with a LayoutElement set to its defaults.
As we see, rather than having equally-weighted children, the image child is squashed. In part this is because the image child has no preferred height, but also the text seems to have a preferred height that includes some empty space underneath it.
Setting various values in the LayoutElement of the image child does expand that child. For example, setting its FlexibleHeight to 1 or its PreferredHeight to 100.
