Resizing: summary

  • Resizing behavior in one dimension is independent of the other dimension.

  • Can be one of: rigid, space-filling, shrink-wrap

  • Can be inspected and changed using core sampler and property sheet:

Resize Attribute Summary

The resizing behavior of a morph in one dimension is completely independent of its behavior in the other dimension; that is, a morph actually has two independent resizing attributes, one for the horizontal dimension and one for the vertical dimension.

To summarize, the resizing behavior of a morph along a given dimension is controlled by its resizing attribute, which has one of three values:

    rigid
    The morph is not resized.

    space-filling
    In a row or column, the size of the morph adapts to fill the available space. Extra space is shared evenly with any other space-filling morphs in that row or column.

    shrink-wrap
    The morph is shrunk to just fit around its submorphs, or to its minimum size, whichever is smaller. Enclosed space-filling morphs are shrunk if necessary.

A morph's minimum size in a given dimension determines the smallest amount of space that should be allocated to it during layout. The core sampler and/or properties sheet (another blue menu item) can be used to change these attributes.
