> Control White Gap element search in the FlexiLayout language: gap orientation, upper and lower thresholds, minimum width, and object type filters.

The **White Gap** element supports the following parameters in the FlexiLayout language.

## White Gap parameters

## Examples

### `Mode`

The following code tells FlexiLayout Studio to look for a vertical gap.

```text theme={null}
Mode: Vertical;
```

### `MaxGapLevel`

The following code tells FlexiLayout Studio that the maximum gap level may not exceed 150 dots.

```text theme={null}
MaxGapLevel (150dt);
```

### `MinGapWidth`

The following code tells FlexiLayout Studio that the minimum height of the horizontal gap is 50 dots.

```text theme={null}
Mode: Horizontal;
MinGapWidth (50dt);
```

### `Type`

The following code specifies that FlexiLayout Studio must look for white gaps only among text objects.

```text theme={null}
Type: AnyText+InvertedTextObject;
```
