ghost_nodes.rs

//! This example demonstrates the use of Ghost Nodes.
//!
//! UI layout will ignore ghost nodes, and treat their children as if they were direct descendants of the first non-ghost ancestor.
//!
//! # Warning
//!
//! This is an experimental feature, and should be used with caution,
//! especially in concert with 3rd party plugins or systems that may not be aware of ghost nodes.
//!
//! In order to use [`GhostNode`]s you must enable the `ghost_nodes` feature flag.
