You can use the bottom style of the component, but if they are stacked you'll still have to compute heights. This is something you get for free if you put your stack of components into a VBox (or Box with direction=vertical). You can position the VBox wherever you want it on the canvas and set the bottom style of that to be whatever height you want from the bottom.
Don't set a height on the VBox and it will just grow as big as it needs to be from the bottom.
Depending on what the component is you may be able to set the rotationY to 180, which would flip it up. So as long as it would look okay upside down this might work.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
