The grid fit property is used to scale and size text within layout blocks. Fit can scale both headline content and plain text content.
?> Fit takes a scaling value. Any value greater than 1 magnifies content. Any value less than 1 shrinks content. A value equal to 1 renders the content at it’s original size. Original size is determined by the theme settings for your slide deck.
The following basic syntax is used to activate a custom fit for text within a layout block:
[drag=width height, drop=x y, fit=scale]
Your text goes here.
Where scale can take any value between 0.01 and 99.99. If the fit= property is not specified for a block then the block automatically inherits the default scale of 1.0. A fit value greater than 1.0 magnifies content. While a fit value less than 1.0 shrinks content.
The best fit=scale value for your content depends on:
- The text itself
- The font active for that text and
- The dimensions of the target block.
Simply experiment with scale values to find the best fit for your content within the block.
The following sample slide screenshot demonstrates fit= on headline content. The grid layouts block in this example covers 100% of the slide area:
The following sample slide screenshot demonstrates fit= on plain text content. The grid layouts block in this example covers 100% of the slide area:
The following sample slide screenshot demonstrates fit= on plain text content. In this example the grid layouts block only partially covers the slide area:
