Resizing objects

Resizing objects will differ if you are creating a project from a template or if you're working on responsive web and mobile layouts.

To resize objects in template projects:

❶ Click to select the object or a group of objects. You will see blue, square handler icons appear on the corners.

❷ Drag the corners inwards or outwards to enlarge or shrink the object or group of objects. See how to group objects in the article on Grouping objects.

Pro tip: To maintain the object’s proportions, hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard when resizing it. That way you will keep the width-to-height ratio when enlarging or shrinking the object.

 

 

Pro tip: Use guides and the snapping tool to snap the objects in place.

 

To resize objects in responsive web and mobile layout projects:

In responsive web and mobile layout projects, the object width is linked to the project width. Therefore, when you resize the width of the canvas, the object width will also change. Height, however, can be adapted for each element, separately. 

❶ To adjust the width, deselect any objects in your editor and use the slider on the right-side settings panel or insert the number of pixels under Width (px).

Note: The maximum width in single chart/ map projects is 1024 px. 

❷ To edit the object's height, select the chart or map and use the slider in the chart settings panel, also on the right.
