# VPackSplit (split)

Organizes its children vertically, in order from top to bottom, like paragraphs in a newspaper. The children in any given column have their west boundaries aligned, and all children that are first in their column have their north borders equal to the north border of the parent. A child is vertically clipped only if its requested vertical size exceeds the parent's vertical size; in this case the child will be alone in its column.
