02/01/2025, 7:21 AMview {
+ Label("Hello") // Label fits its text by default
layout = constrain(children.first(), fill) // :x: infinite loop
}
Doodle 0.11.0
view {
+ Label("Hello") // Label fits its text by default
layout = constrain(children.first(), fill) // :white_check_mark: works as expected
}
Now it just works as expected since View’s cannot override the Layout they are managed by.
More specifically, a View is given a min and max size it can take by its parent’s Layout. It then picks a size it would like to take in that range and reports back to the Layout, which uses that information to position/size it and the other Views it manages.
This means you cannot directly change a View’s bounds like before. However, you can still suggest changes that the View may use to determine its final size.
This means code like this no longer works, and cannot be directly converted to the new suggestion system. That’s because bounds suggestions are not guaranteed in the way a normal setter would be.
Doodle 0.10.x
val view1 = view {}.apply { size = Size(10, 50) }
val view2 = view {}.apply { size = view1.size } // view2.size == Size(10, 50)
Doodle 0.11.0
val view1 = view {}.apply { suggestSize(10, 50) }
val view2 = view {}.apply { size = view1.size } // view2.size == Size.Empty since suggestion usually async
Frosted Glass Paint
New Paint that lets you create glass like material that blurs the underlying content. This, like all paints, can be used to fill any shape, stroke, or text.
rect(
rectangle = bounds.atOrigin.inset(borderThickness / 2),
radius = cardRadius,
fill = FrostedGlassPaint(Color(0x09008bu) opacity 0.2f, blurRadius = 10.0)
)
Text Outlining
You can now outline text using `Stroke`s like other shapes. This includes StyledText, which now supports strokes for styled segments.
render = {
text(
text = "Hello Doodle!",
at = Origin,
fill = Transparent.paint,
stroke = Stroke()
)
}
val stroke = Stroke()
render = {
text(
text = "Hello " .. stroke { "Doodle!" },
at = Origin,
)
}
Inline Constraints for Forms
Forms have api.Layout/s that you can specify explicitly. But now you can also define constraint-based layouts declaratively when defining a Form.
Form { this (
"Bob" to labeled("Name" ) { textField ( ) },
21 to labeled("Age" ) { spinButton(1..120 ) },
Green to labeled("Color") { colorStrip(Red, Green, Blue, BlueColor, Black) },
layout = { name, age, color ->
name.top eq parent.insets.top
name.left eq parent.insets.left
name.right eq age.left - 12 strength Strong
name.height eq name.idealHeight
age.top eq name.top
age.width eq 80
age.right eq parent.right - parent.insets.right
age.height eq age.idealHeight
color.left eq name.top
color.top eq name.bottom + 12
color.right eq age.right strength Strong
color.height eq color.preferredSize(
min = Empty,
max = Size(parent.width.readOnly, POSITIVE_INFINITY)
).height
parent.bottom eq color.bottom + parent.insets.bottom
},
onInvalid = {}
) { name: String, color: Int, age: Color ->
// ...
} }
APIs
• General
• ScrollPanelVisualizer now takes a config that lets you modify the resulting panel
• ScrollPanel’s contentWidthConstraints and contentHeightConstraints now provide IdealSizedProperty values, which have an idealValue field. This lets you constrain the property using its ideal value.
• Layout now has preferredSize method, which returns the preferred size for the set of Views given the current context.
• lerp for HsvColor
• parent insets now available within constraint blocks
• underline and lineThrough helpers for creating `TextDecoration`s
• New Encoder utility types for Strings
• New methods for scrolling a View horizontally and vertically
• New infix strength method for constraint DSL (removed rangeTo operator option)
• Removed Label.fitText
• `Path`s can now be created by “extending” an existing one. This produces a builder based on the given path
• PathBuilder has a new method to append a Path
• CarouselItem now has a displayIndex property which indicates the item’s display order relative to nearestItem.
• New MonthPanel.showMaxRows property that controls whether all 6 potential rows are shown for the panel.
• TreeBehavior.RowPositioner now gets tree bounds info as an input for rowBounds and contentBounds
• New Theme.selected and Theme.deselected events to indicate when a Theme has been selected/deselected.
• MenuBehavior.SubMenuConfig now allows configuration of the menu’s anchor point, insets from the Display’s edges, and horizontal/vertical offsets from the parent menu.
• TileLayout now takes an Orientation
• New anchor property for SlicerPresenter that controls which part of the stack moves first.
• ScrollPanelVisualizer now takes a config that lets you modify the resulting panel
• ScrollPanel’s contentWidthConstraints and contentHeightConstraints now provide IdealSizedProperty values, which have an idealValue field. This lets you constrain the property using its ideal value.
Fixes | Improvements
• General
• bug in interiorAngle function for 2 vectors
• spinButton form field now adopts initial value set for it.
• IntSpinButtonModel now clamps initial value
• Issue in Resizer where pointer release was consumed (to avoid issues on touch devices) which caused strange behavior w/ other handlers. Changed to preventOsHandling instead.
• Bugs in ConstrainedSizePolicy
• Form switch layout
• Label only re-measures text if text is actually changed
• Some areas where wordSpacing and letterSpacing couldn’t be 0
• GridLayout issue due to new layout model
• Issue where ConstraintLayoutImpl would unregister context for Views that were unconstrained even if they were still constrained in other blocks.
• Issue where ScrollPanel scroll didn’t take scroll bar sizes into account
• Selection bug in Lists, Tables, Tress, TreeTables related to selecting the previous item after a select all
• Bug where MultiSelectionModel wouldn’t have correct last when selecting all while last item
• Fixed sizing for many form controls that were incorrect under new layout scheme
• Issue where List could reset size incorrectly if it’s parent has no layout
• Label default lineSpacing
• Label preferredSize now tracks bounds changes when wrapsWords set to true
• The way offset/size-inset constraints work
• BasicSelectBoxBehavior rendering
• BasicSpinButtonBehavior rendering
• Issue where Label.text wouldn’t update if changing from a StyledText with same text value
• Edge case where Carousel wouldn’t transition if it only contained 1 item with wrapping
• Menu selection issue caused by bad Kotlin compilation: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-73130.
• Edge case where items could be selected in a Menu if they were all disabled.
• Issue where Carousel would incorrectly handle manual move cancellation if no movement had occurred
• Bug in they way Views are selected, which caused disabled Views to get pointer events.
• Render issues in CubePresenter
• Issue where Carousel would incorrectly handle manual move cancellation if no movement had occurred
• Issue where Carousel wouldn’t cancel skips properly and this resulted in janky rendering.
• SlicerPresenter now caches bounds data to improve frame rate.
• Issue with CubePresenter positioning of cube cap supplemental view.
• BasicSelectBoxBehavior popup list size
• Updated Dynamic Behaviors so they work w/ List<BehaviorResolver> instead of Set to ensure proper ordering
• bug in ProportionalSizePolicy that led to incorrect column sizing
• Popup ordering in some edge cases
• Stroke rendering with some paints
• But where PatternPaint transform not updated in some edge cases
• Render issue with some brushes when the content they render is clipped
• Issue in native ScrollPanel behavior that prevented proper install/uninstall cycles
• No longer returning 0 for empty string height
• Issue with paint caching
• Using browser’s default line-height instead of assuming a value of 1.
• Incorrectly treating “simple” brushes as complex in some edge cases, which means they’d render using SVG when they didn’t need to
• Ensure single line text has proper line height set
• Various fixes for foreign object paints
• Issue where some paints could fail to draw both strokes and fill when used at the same time
• Issue where some paints would prevent fill from working when used as a Stroke
• Issue in stroke rendering with SweepGradientPaint
• Incorrect text indent for wrapped styled text in some cases.
• Vertical alignment of SVG text so it matches HTML text.
• SVG text backgrounds
• Bug where touch events resulted in pointer enter being called after exit. This meant Views that were touched would always remain in the “pointer entered” state, which breaks many app interactions.
• Browser
• Text color not defaulting to black in some cases
• Pointer up event consumed even if down event was not sent to the app
• Bug in logic that decides when to use plain css for text
• Bug in text width calculation for StyledText

02/02/2025, 12:32 AMmaxLine for text??Nick
02/02/2025, 12:58 AMLabel that kicks in when wrapsWords is enabled?
if so, how would you expect it to work? would it clip the text to the max lines?Cherrio LLC
02/02/2025, 11:20 AMwrapWords . But it will only work if wrapWords is true.
Here’s how: you want the text to only occupy 3 lines max, then truncate the rest.
But specify the behavior of the truncated end to be Ellipses or nothing.
It’s good for feature like “show more”Nick
