Stretchy Objects
Many of the graphic objects, such as 'stretch buttons' and text panels, can automatically adjust their size
depending on the size or length of text. Most template sets, and all of the buttons in the Button folder in
the Designs Gallery
, have both fixed width and stretchy versions. It's recommended that if building a set of navigation buttons
(typically either a horizontal or vertical collection of links or buttons) that you use fixed width so they are
all the same size.
Similarly many of the side or text panels in the templates, and sometimes the main text area, can also
adjust their vertical, and sometimes their horizontal size. In the case of text panels you can adjust the
width of the column in the Text Tool
by dragging on the left or right end of the column indicator.
Note: You can create new stretching components using Xara Designer Pro.
