About Canvas Layout Properties
You can configure the layout, width and height of visualizations on a canvas.
You configure how visualizations are displayed in a canvas using canvas property settings.
Layout
Configures whether visualizations are displayed as freeform or auto fit.
- Auto Fit - Use to automatically arrange or correctly align visualizations on a canvas with multiple visualizations. You can also resize a visualization by dragging its edges to the appropriate dimensions.
- Freeform - Use to rearrange a visualization on the canvas using drag and drop to a space between visualizations where you want to place it. You can also resize a visualization by dragging its edges to the appropriate dimensions.
The Order Visualization option (only available when you use the Freeform canvas layout) enables you to use Bring to Front, Bring Forward, Send Backward, or Send to Back, to move a visualization on a canvas with multiple visualizations.
Width and Height
Use Width, and Height settings in conjunction with Layout settings to specify the layout size of visualizations in a canvas
- Screen - Layout fits in the available screen space.
Not available when you select Freeform.
- Grow - Layout automatically grows in height or width to accommodate a visualization at its optimal size.
For example, if you add multiple visualizations, or rows of visualizations to a canvas, the layout grows so that the added visualizations display at their optimum size.
- Fixed - Layout uses the specified size.
