One thing that has been missing from the native setup configuration UI is a layout editor. Right now visual layout editing requires a custom configuration interface implemented in JavaScript as the one implemented within the Scheduled Player package. While possible, having such a features natively provided by the info-beamer dashboard would be nice and would open up more visual editing in packages.
This has now been added. Any List option with at least the item options x
, y
, width
and height
now automatically gets an additional graphical interface for editing these values. The canvas size is detected from surrounding width
, height
and rotation
values. The older Flexible Grid Video Wall package immediately benefits from that can layout of individual screens can now be edited visually. Here’s now that looks like:
The UI width could be set to 0
to completely hide the per-item coordinates and rely on visual-only editing. Packages will be updated to use this feature in the future. Stay tuned.
