Grid Fit for Lists
The grid fit property is used to scale and size list content within layout blocks.
?> Fit takes a scaling value. Any value greater than 1 magnifies content. Any value less than 1 shrinks content. A value equal to 1 renders the content at it’s original size. Original size is determined by the theme settings for your slide deck.
Basic Syntax
The following basic syntax is used to activate a custom fit for lists within a layout block:
** Unordered List **
@ul[drag=width height, drop=x y, fit=scale]
- Item One
- Item Two
- etc
@ul
** Ordered List **
@ol[drag=width height, drop=x y, fit=scale]
1. Item One
1. Item Two
1. etc
@ol
?> For list widget syntax details see the List Widget Guide.
Where scale can take any value between 0.01 and 99.99. If the fit= property is not specified for a block then the block automatically inherits the default scale of 1.0. A fit value greater than 1.0 magnifies content. While a fit value less than 1.0 shrinks content.
The best fit=scale value for your list content depends on:
- The list content itself
- The font active for that list content and
- The dimensions of the target block.
Simply experiment with scale values to find the best fit for your content within the block.
Fit to Magnify
The following sample slide screenshot demonstrates fit= on list content. In this example the grid layouts block only partially covers the slide area while the list content is magnified to fill the block:
Fit to Shrink
The following sample slide screenshot demonstrates fit= on list content. Note the differences between the sample fit values used on this slide. A fit value less than 1.0 is used to shrink the sample list content on the left side of the slide:
