Frame Modifier

Overview

The Frame modifier comes with 3 parameters: Width, Height, and Alignment. When neither the Width or Height parameter is specified, the layer shows no signs of modification, assuming its inherent size.

You can specify a Fixed size for a layer’s Width, Height, or both. If you only specify one of the dimensions, the resulting layer assumes the sizing behavior in the other dimension. For example, by only placing a Fixed Width, the layer will occupy that Width and whatever Height its parent has to offer.

The Alignment parameter specifies a layer’s alignment within the Frame.

• Top Leading - Layers align to the Leading top corner of the Frame
• Top - Layers align to the top center of the Frame
• Top Trailing - Layers align to the Trailing top corner of the Frame

• Leading - Layers align in the center of the screen, but to the Leading edge of the Frame
• Center - Layers align in the center of the screen, vertically and horizontally of the Frame
• Trailing - Layers align in the center of the screen, but to the Trailing edge of the Frame

• Bottom Leading - Layers align to the bottom Leading corner of the Frame
• Bottom - Layers align at the bottom center of the Frame
• Bottom Trailing - Layers align to the bottom Trailing corner of the Frame

You can also align layers to the Baseline of a Text layer and to the Leading, Center, or Trailing edges.

Flexible Frame

Set the minimum and maximum size for the Width and/or Height of your layer. You can also specify if a dimension of the Frame should Fill the container instead. Use the Alignment parameter to specify the layer’s alignment within the Frame.
