MarginContainer
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Container<class_Container>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Simple margin container.

Description
-----------

Adds a top, left, bottom, and right margin to all :ref:`Control<class_Control>` nodes that are direct children of the container. To control the ``MarginContainer``'s margin, use the ``margin_*`` theme properties listed below.

**Note:** Be careful, :ref:`Control<class_Control>` margin values are different than the constant margin values. If you want to change the custom margin values of the ``MarginContainer`` by code, you should use the following examples:

::

    var margin_value = 100
    set("custom_constants/margin_top", margin_value)
    set("custom_constants/margin_left", margin_value)
    set("custom_constants/margin_bottom", margin_value)
    set("custom_constants/margin_right", margin_value)
