List

A List is a GUI 2D Object that allows the user to create a list. The contents of the list, and any visual components, can be customized in the Attributes.

Attributes

The Object's Attributes can be used to fully customize the Object. Explained below, they are:

Transformation

The Transformation Attributes deal with placement, rotation, and size in XY space. More information can be found here.

List

The List Attributes provide crucial data for a List Object. When Advanced Mode is toggled on, the Attribtues differ slightly.

  • The Active Index Attribute decides which item is currently active in the List.

  • Advanced Mode determines whether Entries or JSON File will appear in the Attributes.

  • Entries allows the user to add the elements of the List and is only visible when Advanced Mode is toggled off.

  • The JSON File contains all the information for the List when Advanced Mode is toggled on.

Thus there are two ways to populate a List:

  • When Advanced Mode is toggled on, the JSON File Attribute appears. The JSON File contains more specific data of the List and allows the user to have more control. For example, a JSON file could contain something like this:

   [
    {
        "icon": "Users/user.name/Documents/Project1/Assets/image1.jpg",
        "text": "you collected"
    },
    {
        "icon": "Users/user.name/Documents/Project1/Assets/image2.png",
        "text": "over 9000"
    },
    {
        "icon": "Users/user.name/Documents/Project1/Assets/image3.png",
        "text": "overhours"
    }
]

  • When Advanced Mode is toggled off, the Entries are visible. The user can manually input each List entry one by one.

These two processes result in a List that appears like this (with some other visual Attributes changed):

List Item

The List Item Attributes provide crucial data for a List Object's items.

  • Height decides the space between each segment of the list (the total vertical space of an item) in pixels.

  • Background Color decides the background color of the List's items.

  • Use Icon toggles the visibility of any icons in the JSON file on or off. Please note, for icon images the absolute path on one's local machine must be used.

  • Icon Size determines the size of the icons in pixels.

Separator

  • Size chooses the thickness of the separators, which are the lines between List items, in pixels.

  • Color determines the color of the separators.

Text

The Text Attributes customize the textual elements of a List.

  • Color decides the color of the List's text.

  • Alignment sets the alignment of the text. This is either left, right, or center.

  • Transform can easily change certain text aesthetics. Capitalize makes the first letter capital, uppercase makes all letters capital, and lowercase makes all letters lowercase.

Font

The Font Attributes control certain font characteristics.

  • Family offers three different font types: monospace, sans-serif, and serif. More fonts can be added by the user in Project Settings.

  • Size determines the size of the font in pixels.

Style

  • The Text Margin Attribute adds margins to the text of a List depending on what sizes are specified and for which sides. The options are x for the top, y for the right, z for the bottom, and w for the left. Margins are often seen in the context of CSS. Similarly, here, it is the extra space around the List item's text in relation to the space around it.

  • List Padding adds padding to a List depending on what sizes are specified and for which sides. The options are x for the top, y for the right, z for the bottom, and w for the left. Padding is often seen in the context of CSS. Similarly, in Incari, it is the extra space inside the List Object itself. The separators of the List do not extend into this space.

  • List Margin adds margins to a List depending on what sizes are specified and for which sides. The options are x for the top, y for the right, z for the bottom, and w for the left. Margins are often seen in the context of CSS. Similarly, here, it is the extra space around the List in relation to other Objects.

  • Icon Margin adds margins to the icons of a List's depending on what sizes are specified and for which sides. The options are x for the top, y for the right, z for the bottom, and w for the left. Margins are often seen in the context of CSS. Similarly, here, it is the extra space around the List item's icon in relation to the space around it.

  • CSS Classes contains the CSS class names of the Object.

  • Stylesheet contains the CSS stylesheet of the Object.
