Summary | 0001096: Picture frame padding | ||||
Description | The ability to add precise amounts of white space between the frame border and the picture itself, similar to the shape properties for a text box (distance from top, bottom, left, right). | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Patch | No | ||||

Well, we have the Contour line, but specifying shape distances for anything but rectangular is a difficult task, although possible. See what you think of Contour lines. |
|
Actually, the padding would be the distance from the frame border to the frame contents, to create a bit of white space between (for instance) a photograph and the border that surrounds it. Should be possible even the frame is irregular, because the shape is identical. |
|
Seems to me the same fields used for text should be enabled here. This would at least make sense for images scaled to the frame size. For free scaling images wouldn't it also make sense to be able to set a basepoint for the coordinates (in Properties:Image)? E.g. refer to upper right corner instead of upper left. |
|
The UI would be more consequent if you'd just allow to use the same fields as you use for textframes already. This makes even sense, when the image is not scaled to framesize! You just have to change the caption to "space between content" |

duplicate with 8275 ? |

I found the way Scribus handles the "standard box model" odd - it might be worth making it more straightforward to add margins and padding to text and graphics frames, basically in the same way as in CSS. I can't help thinking it ought to be a bit easier to put a standard amount of white space between my pictures and the text body. |
|
the target version was obsolete so I bumped it. Perhaps this will get addressed by avox via ScribusCTL |
|
I'm working on an implementation. The idea is to have a numeric input in the shape section to define a distance between the shape and the text. - 4 inputs if bounding box mode is used - 1 input for all other modes The distance calculation is using the QPathStroker to generate the new "margin" path. It differs from the scale function of the nodes edit palette. At the moment, it is not possible to have a negative stroking. And because of the QPathStroker the path is not quite smooth anymore. Here is a first result. The light blue box visualize the distance. |

That sounds good to me. I guess we’d have to define use cases to be more precise, but most of the layout will work with your proposal. What i see : - most of the frames are usually rectangular. So using a single field to have a quick margin around in shape mode is good enough. Those who want custom margin on each side may use bounding box. - other frame shapes might not need 4 inputs, because they should have one / side. Another possible behavior would be to activate a tool mode that would allow to create the margin on-canvas by moving the side. We can see there might be some troubles with acute shapes. People may still be able to use contour mode if necessary. Do you plan to keep contour mode untouched with point window ? |
