Padder

IPadder wraps a child renderable and adds whitespace around it - useful when you want spacing without a Panel's border.

When to use

Visually separating content blocks without drawing a border.
Indenting a block of output relative to its surroundings.
Adjusting spacing inside a panel that doesn't carry enough internal padding by itself.

pascal

AnsiConsole.Write(
  Widgets.Padder(Widgets.Markup('[bold]content[/]'))
    .WithPadding(TPadding.Create(2, 1, 2, 1)));   // left, top, right, bottom

Method	Purpose
`WithPadding(value : TPadding)`	Set padding on all four sides via a `TPadding` record.

The TPadding record's constructor takes (left, top, right, bottom) cell counts. Build one inline:

pascal

panel := Widgets.Padder(content).WithPadding(TPadding.Create(4, 0, 4, 0));

A symmetric padding factory may also be useful:

pascal

TPadding.Symmetric(2)        // 2 cells on every side
TPadding.Create(0, 1, 0, 1)  // 1 cell top + bottom only

Padder is often used to indent a paragraph or block:

pascal

AnsiConsole.Write(Widgets.Padder(longParagraph)
                    .WithPadding(TPadding.Create(4, 0, 0, 0)));

Or to add breathing room around a chart inside a panel:

pascal

AnsiConsole.Write(
  Widgets.Panel(
    Widgets.Padder(barChart).WithPadding(TPadding.Create(1, 0, 1, 0)))
    .WithHeader('Chart'));
