layouttools.make_spacing_vector¶

abjad.tools.layouttools.make_spacing_vector.make_spacing_vector(basic_distance, minimum_distance, padding, stretchability)[source]¶

New in version 2.0.

Make spacing vector:

abjad> from abjad.tools import layouttools

abjad> layouttools.make_spacing_vector(0, 0, 12, 0)
SchemeVector((SchemePair(('basic_distance', 0)), SchemePair(('minimum_distance', 0)), SchemePair(('padding', 12)), SchemePair(('stretchability', 0))))

Use to set paper block spacing attributes:

abjad> staff = Staff("c'8 d'8 e'8 f'8")
abjad> lilypond_file = lilypondfiletools.make_basic_lilypond_file(staff)
abjad> lilypond_file.paper_block.system_system_spacing = layouttools.make_spacing_vector(0, 0, 12, 0)

abjad> f(lilypond_file) # doctest: +SKIP

\version "2.13.44"
\include "english.ly"
\include "/abjad/trunk/abjad/cfg/abjad.scm"

\paper {
    system-system-spacing = #'((basic_distance . 0) (minimum_distance . 0) (padding . 12) (stretchability . 0))
}

\score {
    \new Staff {
        c'8
        d'8
        e'8
        f'8
    }
}

Return scheme vector.
