uiz_spaceAreas_format_

These are easy to use scripts that takes a ds list that has spacing values and compares those values to the total space available. It then spits out another ds list that has a slightly better spacings.

This can be useful if you have something like a menubar of a certain width and have a ds list containing the spaces of the item texts of the menu, and want that menu to be nicely spread across the entire bar. (See example). THE DS LIST MUST HAVE ONLY REAL NUMBERS IN IT!

After this script has been ran then all the spacings in the new ds list added together will equal the total space (argument1). The difference with uiz_spaceAreas_format_newList and uiz_spaceAreas_format_changeList is that _newList creates a new ds list and returns that list, while _changeList changes your already existing list that you gave at argument0.

Functions

• newList = uiz_spaceAreas_format_newList(ds list, space): Spaces out all values in the ds list so all values added up equals the space value. Creates a new list.
  • newList: The newly created list with the new spacings.
  • ds list: What ds list holds all the spacings.
  • space: The total amount of space available. In the end, all values in the ds list added up should be equal to this.
• uiz_spaceAreas_format_changeList(ds list, space): Spaces out all values in the ds list so all values added up equals the space value. Changes to provided ds list to conform.
  • ds list: What ds list holds all the spacings.
  • space: The total amount of space available. In the end, all values in the ds list added up should be equal to this.
