Minimum width for elements?

I want an auto-width label that stretches like a width:'auto' element but also has a minimum width.

Is there any way to declare a minimum width or perhaps a left/right padding in a label?

  • This still doesn't seem to be directly feasible…did you figure out a solution? This would be very handy.

    If your goal is to keep it centred and for it to dynamically expand and contract in relation to the orientation, you can leave the width unset, and set the left and right properties to the same value.

    If I've misunderstood, then maybe you mean the spacing between the text and the edge of the label. If this is the case, you would need to add the label to a view, possibly with a fixed width, and set the left and right attributes as above.

    If this wasn't what you were after, then let me know.
