To distribute menu objects
If you want a series of buttons or objects to be evenly spaced, you don't need to calculate the appropriate distance
between them. The distribute options can place them evenly apart for you, either horizontally or vertically. You can
choose to distribute them between the two outermost objects or between the borders of the Title Safe area.
