clamp(370px, 30%, 1000px)

Hi all,

What does my title mean ?
I find this in an ID = btn_map, inside the logic block to fix the size of a button...

Thanks for your help,

Can you show a screenshot to put it into context?
If it has a yellow triangle, then mouse over it to see a tooltip that will give you more information.

Here it is Hopki, and thanks for your answer.

This logic block impresses me terribly

But after a while I'd like to understand how it works

Hi,
what the "clamp" does is set limits.
For example, a width set to: clamp(370px, 30%, 1000px)

This is saying the element can change width by 30% but must not go under 370px or over 1000px, but can scale in between these limits.
So if you had a side menu, setting to use percentage at some point it will become either to wide or to narrow, this ensures that it can not get to narrow or to wide.

Great, thank you Hopki, I better understand this logic now.

Just one more question please:

How do I have to interprete the hight code below:

calc(50% - 160px)

?
Does it mean that the hight can be 50% of the screen minus 160px ?

Hi dePassage66,
Yes, you are correct, if you use the skin preview you will see the results.

Thanks Hopki !

I prefer to be sure and ask people who are more knowledgeable than me, before trying and wasting some of my hard work on this skin editor.
