Enum Spacing 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub enum Spacing {
    Space(u16),
    Overlap(u16),
}

How adjacent panes relate along the split axis in a _spaced split: a fixed gap between them, or a shared, overlapping edge.

A plain u16 (the historic spacing parameter) converts to Space via From, so Layout::spacing accepts either a bare cell count or a Spacing directly.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Space(u16)

Carve out a fixed n-cell gap between every adjacent pair of panes. The gap comes out of the area before constraints are resolved, so Fill/ Percent panes share only what’s left after every gap is reserved. No-op with fewer than two panes or n == 0.

Overlap(u16)

Shift every pane back by n cells so it overlaps the trailing edge of the previous pane, e.g. so two adjacent bordered panels can share one line of border instead of each drawing its own (ratatui’s Spacing::Overlap). Purely geometric: retroglyph does not merge the overlapping cells’ contents, so whichever pane is drawn last wins on the shared cells. No-op with fewer than two panes or n == 0.
