Description

Currently, iced_native only supports flexbox items. For instance, it is not possible to create a grid of items or make text float around an image.

We will need to enhance the layouting engine to support different strategies and improve the way we measure text to lay it out in a more flexible way.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore existing grid layout implementations in Rust GUI libraries (e.g., druid, egui) and consider integrating a generic grid widget. For floating text, investigate CSS float behavior and adapt it to the iced native layout engine. Start by prototyping a simple grid layout using the existing flexbox infrastructure.
