How do you resize a viewport?

[Georgine]

I'm using a vbox inside a viewport as a menu, as follows:

Code: Select all

        frame:
            style_group "characternames"
            yalign 0.9
            has vbox:
                viewport:
                    mousewheel True
                    scrollbars "vertical"

                    vbox:
                        xmaximum 310
                        ymaximum 900
                        for i in range(Character_list):
                                textbutton Character_name[i]

I am trying to size the viewport to x=310 y=900 so it exactly matches the size of the child vbox, but I always get a tiny viewport only large enough to display 2 textbuttons. I've tried setting both child_size and xmaximum/ymaximum in the viewport styles, but no matter what I change it always remains the same size.

try xminimum/yminimum as well

[Georgine]

Hmm,

Code: Select all

vbox:
                        xminimum 310
                        yminimum 900
                        xmaximum 310
                        ymaximum 900

Runs, but looks identical to the version without it, and

Code: Select all

                viewport:
                    xminimum 310
                    yminimum 900

pops an error saying that xminimum and yminimum are not a valid child for viewport.

What about moving the xmaximum and ymaximum to the viewport? If it isn't automatically filling the space, add xfill and yfill to True. It doesn't work when I put them in vbox and only works when I put them in viewport, but maybe it'll work for you?

Code: Select all

        frame:
            style_group "characternames"
            yalign 0.9
            has vbox:
                viewport:
                    xmaximum 310
                    ymaximum 900
                    xfill True
                    yfill True
                    mousewheel True
                    scrollbars "vertical"

                    vbox:
                        for i in range(Character_list):
                                textbutton Character_name[i]

I can see some blue frame behind the viewport now, but the actual size remains the same as if I don't specify xfill/yfill or the maximums at all.

[Asceai]

Try specifying the viewport size with area (0, 0, 310, 900) instead.

[Georgine]

No visible effect- it has the same configuration as with x/yfill or no specified size.

[Georgine]

Oh, and in case I'm mis-using the syntax, to clarify I specified it with area() as follows:

Code: Select all

viewport:
                    area (0, 0, 310, 900)

[akemicchi]

I'm just guessing now since I have no idea why none of that is working, but could it maybe have something to do with the style properties you have for "characternames"? What are the properties that you have set up?

[Georgine]

Hmm, that might be it- here's my styles section:

Code: Select all

        style.characternames = Style(style.frame)
        style.characternames_button.xmaximum=300
        style.characternames_button.xminimum=300
        style.characternames_button.ymaximum=20
        style.characternames_button.yminimum=20

[akemicchi]

Nope, it's not the style properties. That just affects the buttons. :'D

I copy-pasted the code, moved xmaximum and ymaximum to viewport, ran it, and it all seems to work just fine. I have no idea why it's not working.

[Georgine]

I just figured it out, it wasn't working because I'm an idiot. XD There's another frame about 2 pages up for a completely different area, and somewhere along the line I tabbed the entire section with the frame I was having trouble with one indentation in, so the entire thing was getting the mins and maxes for a completely separate part of the interface.

Thank you so much for your patience!

[akemicchi]

Hahaha, well, I'm glad that's solved then! Good luck with your project!
