Stupid question!?
Is it possible to manually change the row height in a Dataview without changing the size of the character set?

    Hi dirk magerkord!

    Not stupid at all ;-)

    But, unfortunately, there is no other way to do this than using the option of wrapping the DataView header:

    I think you will have to experiment a litlle bit with that using different text-lenghts for your layout blocks...

     

    Hope, this helps.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Hi dirk magerkord,

     

    additively to what Helmut Heimann mentioned you can also use Images to resize the column heigth.

     

    The workaround with the image allows you to define the height pixelperfect.

     

    You just have to insert images with the wished height into your capsule, insert them as Algorithm into your layout and got the wished effect.

     

    From performance side the suggestion from Helmut is better, because loading images need more time than publishing text strings.

     

    perhaps it helps

     

    regards

    Hi dirk magerkord,

     

    Alex is right about the performance. Still, the result is probably the best you can get with the options available.

     

    What I do is use a transparent .png-file. That way Board has almost nothing it needs to render and you can also use it on any coloured background you might have on your screen.

     

    Configuration:

    Result (gray screen background with logo, dataview set to transparent):

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Hi Gerrit Kohrs,

     

    Is this solution also possible for making the row height smaller?

     

    For example, i have 5 colums, 4 out of 5 are fine, but 1 is colum is contains more rows then the other. So i trying to line out al colums by resizing the row height.

     

    Is this even possible?

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Robin

    Hi Robin Slump,

     

    to be honest, I don't know a "real" solution for defining the row height. The work-around with the picture is only a dirty trick in my eyes and won't help you in your specific case. Maybe "defining row height" could be something for the Ideas section, if it isn't already there?

     

    Kind regards,

    Gerrit
