List property: growth per item

By Tim Hards | December 18, 2007

This post is the last in the series describing each of the Perspector list properties.

The growth properties are used to specify an amount to “grow” each list item by.

Growth properties are only available on lists where each list item is made of only a single shape. So, for example, growth properties are available on the Basic List in the library, but not on the Sphere Bullet Points list (each list item is made from a sphere and a block shape).

There are 2 parts to the growth properties: the type of growth and the amount to grow by.

Linear growth is the simplest. Each list item in the list is a specified amount larger than the previous item. The Expanding List in the library uses a 40 point width growth per item, combined with a 20 point X offset to keep the items left-aligned:

Expanding List with 40pt width growth per item, and 20pt X offset

However, growth can also be negative. This is the same list, but the width growth has been changed to -40 point, and the whole list has been resized to make it wide enough:

Expanding List with -40pt width growth per item, and 20pt X offset
