Add padding around text in rectangles

2022-12-16T13:46:54.171000Z

Hi,

you're welcome :)

I can ask a collegue on monday, because I couldn't find anything for this in the code. Normally, the width depends on the element's scrollbar settings or it is a fixed default width. The Table element for example contains a property "Scroll bar size".

Regards
Julian

Thanks for the update! Glad to hear there will be a manual!
In the mean time could you please describe how to set the Scroll bar default width please? (The one that appears when "Scroll elements with scrollbar" option is enabled)

Hi surikan,

Currently, there is not much information about the style entries available.
But we're working on creating a documentation for this. I don't know of an exact date but I could imagine that it will be online in the next few months.

Hi j-zauner,
Do you know if there is manual describing the style names and value limits for each visual component?

Hi Julian,

thank you for creating the improvement.
Your suggestion with the workaround sounds good, but I also wanted to use the padding in a table. So I won't be able to use the workaround there. But on the rectangles I will use your workaround.

Thank you again for your help!

Hi carohe,

I'm glad it helped you.

Currently there is no other way with these style entries.
As a workaround you could put 2 rectangles into a group and the inner rectangle contains the text and the alignment and is a bit smaller than the outer one. Then the line break would occur not exactly on the right edge.

I will create an improvement in our system for this.

And I found some more documentation regarding this topic: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_aligning_text_with_spacing_to_the_element_frame.html

Hi Julian,

thank you very much, this works now!
It is a bit sad that it only works when the alignment is not centered, but at least it works with left/right aligment.

Hi together,

I was missing some information.

The padding-Feature will only work if:
the element has "Text properties" "Horizontal alignment" and "Vertical alignment"
Horizontal Text alignment is not centered or
* Vertical Text alignment is not centered

It could work for each element if you place the additional styles under it, but I'm not sure about this.
If you use it like in the attached style, then it will be applied to all elements I guess.

Hi,
thank you very much! I have tried several options, but nothing worked. I feel like I am missing the information how to link the entry in the style editor with the actual element. I am trying to understand how the style editor works and how these elements are linked but I haven't understood it yet.

Hi, I've never tried it, so only suggestion:

maybe you could try to add the entry inside the 'Element' or e.g. 'TextField'.
So the full path will be like TextField -> Text -> Margin - Horizontal.
