The size of RelativeLayout is same as its mother, StoryCreator@MDCard. The relative layout has several circles. each circle is is derived from the common MDCard defined at the bottom of the kv file. Each MDCard is customised to have a different colour and size. Each MDcard is named and the same is shown in the image above for reference. Each MDCard is positioned at center_x of 0.5 and center_y of 0.6. These values take the width and height of its parent, MDRelativeLayout and position them accordingly. Since all MDcards have same center_x and center_y, they will be placed one over another based on the order of their appearance in the kv file. The plus icon and the background are positioned based on the MDCard and the <a href=\"https:\/\/kivymd.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/components\/fitimage\/\">FitImage<\/a>. At the end, a <a href=\"https:\/\/kivymd.readthedocs.io\/en\/latest\/components\/label\/\">MDLabel<\/a> is also added.<\/p>\n<p>Function on_start will execute its contents after the screen is built. It is calling the function on_enter defined in the home_page.py. This function adds the stories to the MDBoxLayout MDB4 based on the id sories. The function list_stories reads the assets\/data\/stories.json file and add a CircularAvatarImage to the MDB4. CircularAvatarImage is also a MDCard that is simlilar to the StoryCreator discussed above. It should be noted that common name for the MDCard should be chosen carefully. If you define the same common name across multiple kv files, even if one entry is disabled, the python code will refer the entry defined some where else. It is suggested to have unique names of common items. For example, the MDCard is named Circle in story_creator.kv and MDCard in circular_avatar_image.kv is named as circle2.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hcb_wrap\">\n<pre class=\"prism line-numbers lang-json\" data-lang=\"KV\"><code><circularavatarimage>\r\n\r\n    size_hint: None, None\r\n    size: 62, 100\r\n    elevation: 0\r\n    theme_bg_color: \"Custom\"\r\n    md_bg_color: self.theme_cls.backgroundColor\r\n\r\n    MDRelativeLayout:\r\n        size_hint: None, None\r\n        size: 60, 100\r\n\r\n        Circle2:\r\n            radius: [50,]\r\n            size: 60, 60\r\n            md_bg_color: 1, 0, 0, 1\r\n        \r\n        Circle2:\r\n            radius: [50,]\r\n            size: 55, 55\r\n            md_bg_color: 1, 1, 1, 1\r\n\r\n        # profile picture\r\n        FitImage:\r\n            source: root.avatar \r\n            size_hint: None, None\r\n            size: 53, 53\r\n            radius: [53]\r\n            pos_hint: {\"center_x\": 0.5,\"center_y\": 0.6}\r\n        \r\n        # Username\r\n        MDLabel:\r\n            text: root.name\r\n            halign: 'center'\r\n            pos_hint: {\"center_x\": 0.5 ,\"center_y\": 0.1}\r\n            font_size: 11\r\n            theme_text_color: 'Custom'\r\n            text_color: self.theme_cls.primaryColor #0, 0, 0, 1\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;Circle2@MDCard&gt;\r\n    size_hint: None, None\r\n    elevation: 0\r\n    pos_hint: {\"center_x\": 0.5,\"center_y\": 0.6}\r\n<\/circularavatarimage><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<p>The figure below shows several CircularAvatarImage added to MDB4.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_362\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-362\" style=\"width: 315px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/techris.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/001-circularavatarimages-added-to-mdb4.jpg\" alt=\"CircularAvatarImages added to MDB4\" width=\"315\" height=\"602\" class=\"size-full wp-image-362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techris.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/001-circularavatarimages-added-to-mdb4.jpg 315w, https:\/\/techris.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/001-circularavatarimages-added-to-mdb4-157x300.jpg 157w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-362\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CircularAvatarImages added to MDB4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The function list_posts in home_page.py will add several PostCards to the timeline MDBoxLayout (MDB2) with an id of timeline.
