<div class='sourceset sourceset-common'>Common</div>

```


Creates a padding of `horizontal` dp along the left and right edges, and of `vertical` dp along
the top and bottom edges.

```kotlin
fun PaddingValues(
    start: Dp = 0.dp,
    top: Dp = 0.dp,
    end: Dp = 0.dp,
    bottom: Dp = 0.dp,
): PaddingValues
```


Creates a padding to be applied along the edges inside a box. In LTR contexts `start` will be
applied along the left edge and `end` will be applied along the right edge. In RTL contexts,
`start` will correspond to the right edge and `end` to the left.
