Divide with padding? about griddify HOT 15 CLOSED

That's a great idea!

We could have Divide act like Griddify when supplied with multiple numbers. For example:

2 10:

2 10 10:

2 20 10 20:

So basically, the first number determines the number of divisions, and if a second number isn't present, it'll just add a guide at each division position. But if there are one or more additional numbers present, it'll turn those into "gutters" and then makes sure their center matches the division's center.

What do you think?

My thought exactly. I actually at first tried typing 5 20 into Divisions fully expecting this to happen.

I'm now thinking it might be a good idea (and more intuitive) to create the actual guide inside the gutter, not just the gutter lines themselves.

For your examples, shouldn't that be 2 10, 2 10 10, etc?

You lost me :) Can you explain a bit more?

from griddify.

OK, sorry :)

5 20:

(Division guides centered inside the gutters.)

Great! I'll come back to this :)

I'd just like to also request this feature. I really like the plugin but without an easy way to create gutters on a divided grid (eg 12 20) I don't have too much use for it.

Thanks!

from griddify.

@justo Yeah this is pretty important. I'm working on it :)

@xdividr I was just writing the code for this feature, and I wanted to ask your opinion again about where to put these guides. Your idea about putting division guides inside the gutters looks simple enough, but it can't achieve the system you show in the first comment:

So, wouldn't writing 50 10 10 instead of 5 20 make it more flexible?

from griddify.

Agreed, for max flexibility, it probably makes the most sense to do as you're suggesting: 5 10 10

Referring to the grid in my first comment, I now realize there are actually 3 things going on:

1. 20px wrap on all sides
2. 5 grid divisions
3. 20px gutters at each division (or, as you suggest, 10px margins on either side of each division guide)

With the current version, you can easily do both 1. and 2. So to accomplish my example, I'm thinking you could:

1. Wrap 20
2. Select the area inside the wrap
3. Divide 5 10 10

Does this make sense? Happy to clarify.

from griddify.

I just realized I wrote the wrong example.

Anyway, I just packaged a new temporary release for this feature. Can you give it a try and see if it fits the needs you described?

from griddify.

This works perfectly. Thank you!

from griddify.

For reference, here are the exact steps to recreate my example:

1. Wrap 10 10
2. Select the area 10px inside outer margins
3. Divide 5 10 10

from griddify.

Awesome! Thank you very much for helping me with your time and ideas :)

from griddify.

Shucks. Thank you for saving me hours of dragging / setting guides!

from griddify.

@xdividr It's my pleasure.

Pinging @justo: Take a look at the new version :)

from griddify.

@AriaMinaei The new version works perfectly, thank you!
