prepend characters to Panel

[nschloe]

It is known that vertical alignment doesn't work yet in Rich. As a workaround, how can I prepend newlines before Panel in the following example?

from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
from rich.panel import Panel

console = Console()

table = Table(show_header=False)
table.add_row("a\nb\nc\nd\ne\nf\ng\nh\ni\nj", Panel("test panel"))

console.print(table)

Vertical alignment does work, but not yet in Table rows.

You can use the Padding class to insert lines before a renderable.

Padding inserts space inside the box. I'm looking for something outside of it, like margin.

Padding works for both. You can put the Panel inside Padding, or Padding inside Panel. Rich doesn’t care which.

Yup, that works. Thanks!
