Hi,
In the design phase there are the option of relative or absolute size
I want to customise the same settings using blocks, however, how do I know which properties these are? For example the 100 and 20 here, are these ,relative or absolute, px or %?
It seems like margin and padding cannot be customised in blocks
Hi there,
It’s absolute size (in pixels) that is set when you set the size using blocks.
@jane ok ty, can this be adjusted to relative?
You can do the calculations yourself Terry, relative to the width of the Screen.
i.e 25% is from Screen1 get width / 4
Hope that helps!
@domhnallohanlon my question is how do you use “relative” as % rather than “absolute” as px, seems like that was not defined
Tried putting 1/4 in the math blocks, however, it always resolve to 1. The percentage cannot be entered either.
Yes, but it has to be “relative” to something else. In my example above I outlined how to set the width of a component to 25%, relative to the width of the Screen. i.e Screen width / 4
@domhnallohanlon oh I see, it seems like the drop down doesn’t have “width” option though?
Hah! Well, that’s inconvenient 
Turns out you can just use strings for relative sizing like this:
@domhnallohanlon ohhh that’s cool, use string rather than integer, thanks for the help!
