Changing the look of 3D lists

By Tim Hards | November 28, 2007

In the last post, I discussed Perspector 4’s new lists. I mentioned that you could change the properties of lists using the Format List dialog box.

If you select a list in Perspector, and click Format, Format List…, you will see a dialog box like this:

I will discuss each of these properties in turn over the next few days, starting with…

List Direction

Direction describes the orientation of the list, and determines in which direction new list items are added.

The Basic List in the Perspector library is an example of a vertical list:

Whereas the Simple Flow Across list is an example of a horizontal list:

Simple Flow Across

If a custom direction is used, there is no preferred orientation. The distance between list items is wholly determined by the offset values, which will be described in a later post.

Although the direction property is useful when creating new lists (more on this later), it isn’t so useful when changing the appearance of existing lists. The other properties are more useful, and I will describe these next.
