Coordinate Card
This layout offers an absolute layout design structure.
Field Name | Description |
---|---|
Columns | The card occupies the specified number of columns on the page grid. |
Rows | The card occupies the specified number of rows on the page grid. |
Position X | Applies to the horizontal placement of the card on the page. When the
value is 0 , the card is placed on the left-most side of the
page. As you increase the value, the card moves away from the left side of the
page. |
Position Y | Applies to the vertical placement of the card on the page. When the value
is 0 , the card is placed at the top of the page. As you
increase the value, the card moves away from the top of the page. |
Layout Type | Choose from the following card layouts before starting to design your pages:

Function | Layout functionalities:
|
Aspect Ratio | By choosing to preserve the aspect ratio, the elements within the card do
not get stretched or distorted whenever the card is resized, overall aspect
ratio is maintained. The aspect ratio is applicable only to the usable area
within the coordinate card.
For plug-ins with dimensions specified in pixels (px), the dimensions do not change when the card is resized. For plug-ins with dimensions specified in percentage (%), the dimensions adjust proportionally when the card is resized. |
Background Image | See Set Background Image. |
Scale Line Connector | This option is set at card level. With this setting, the line connector works similar to percentage %. All the other plug-ins that are connected using line connector need to be in % when user is expecting to scale based on browser page dynamic height and width changes. |
Show/Hide | Select +Add Conditions to create conditions to show or hide the card. See Apply Conditions. |
Height | This value dynamically sets the height of the plug-in on a coordinate
layout. The plug-in dimensions are determined by the layout mechanism being used (coordinate or flex layout). The height and width values are not considered from the plug-in manifest. |
Width | This value dynamically sets the width of the plug-in on a coordinate
layout. The plug-in dimensions are determined by the layout mechanism being used (coordinate or flex layout). The height and width values are not considered from the plug-in manifest. |
Unit | Apply a unit of measurement for the height/width values.
|
Rotation | Enter a numeric value to set the rotation angle of the plug-in around its center point. The value represents the number of degrees the plug-in should be rotated clockwise. For example, a rotation value of 90 would rotate the plug-in 90 degrees clockwise. |
X Relative | Determines the horizontal positioning of the plug-in with respect to its
original position within the coordinate layout.
|
Y Relative | Determines the vertical positioning of the plug-in with respect to its
original position within the coordinate layout.
|
Lock Aspect | When you resize a plug-in, you have the option to maintain its aspect
ratio. When set to When set to |
Offset Left | Enter a numeric value to set the horizontal offset or displacement of the plug-in from the left edge of the coordinate layout. The value represents the number of units (pixels, points, etc.) the plug-in should be offset from the left edge. |
Offset Top | Enter a numeric value to set the vertical offset or displacement of the plug-in from the top edge of the coordinate layout. The value represents the number of units the plug-in should be offset from the top edge. |
Scroll bars appear when the card size is smaller than the plug-in size.
Set Background Image
- Select the check box for Background Image.
- Select image Source Type from these options:.
- File: Browse your local system and choose an image file to upload.
- URL: Enter a URL address of the image you want to add as a background.
- The following settings allow you to control the appearance of the background
image.
Fit Determines how a background image is scaled to fit within its layout. - Auto: Displays the image at its original size.
- Cover: Scales the image to cover the entire layout area while maintaining its aspect ratio. The image may get cropped.
- Contain: Scales the image proportionally to fit within the layout area without the need for cropping.
Repeat Determines if/how a background image should be repeated to fill the layout. - None: Image is not repeated. It is displayed only once covering the available area.
- Repeat: Image is repeated both horizontally and vertically (grid-like pattern) to fill the layout area.
- Repeat X: Image is repeated only horizontally along the x-axis.
- Repeat Y: Image is repeated only vertically along the y-axis.
- Space: Image is repeated only as much as possible without cropping, and the space between the repeats are distributed evenly.
- Round: Image is repeated only as much as possible without cropping, and the repeats are resized to fill the available space.
Horizontal Determines how a background image is positioned horizontally within its layout. - Left: Image is aligned to the left side.
- Center: Image is horizontally centered.
- Right: Image is aligned to the right side.
Vertical - Top: Image is aligned to the top.
- Center: Image is vertically centered.
- Bottom: Image is aligned to the bottom.
