| Summary | 0002930: Per-frame baseline grid | ||||
| Description | It'd be useful to have per-frame baseline grid control, as the current document wide setting appears to be too inflexible for some (many?) users, and it sounds like per-page wouldn't be much better in many cases. It'd probably be necessary to let the user set the frame baseline height. Later, some sort of one-off "scan for maximum height" button could be added, perhaps by a plugin once we have text metrics available. An alternative to this might be to support a "total line height" lock in styles, combined with some form of the style merging / style in heritance that's been discussed on and off. A user might set the item style for that frame to one with a line height lock, and if no style in the contained text overrode it, that'd be the line height used. | ||||

I was thinking about filing a feature request on this one too, but I didn't. The reason is, it appeared to me that offering separate grids for each frame would make scribus too complex. One would have to implement the opportunity to switch visibility and snapping on and off. Also, many frames, each with a visible and magnetic grid, wouldn't be very efficient (and make scribus perhaps more crash prone?). So I'd vote for the alternative mentioned: fixed line heights in frame styles. In my view, this is easier to use and probably easier to code and to maintain. |
