| |
| <p>Grid lists are an alternative to standard list views. They are best suited for showing data sets |
| that represent themselves through images. In contrast to simple lists, grid lists may scroll either |
| vertically or horizontally.</p> |
| |
| |
| |
| <h2 id="generic_grid">Generic Grids</h2> |
| |
| |
| <p>The items in a grid list are arranged in two dimensions, one of which is fixed when scrolling |
| content. The scrolling direction dictates the ordering of the items within the grid list. Since the |
| scrolling direction is not deterministic, make it easy for the user to determine the orientation by |
| cutting off grid items to communicate where the overflow is located.</p> |
| <p>Avoid creating grid lists that scroll in two dimensions.</p> |

| <div class="layout-content-col span-6"> |
| |
| <h4>Vertical scrolling</h4> |
| <p>Vertically scrolling grid list items are sorted in traditional western reading direction: |
| left-to-right and top-down. When displaying the list, cut off the items in the bottom row to |
| communicate that the user can scroll the list down to show additional items. Be sure to retain this |
| scheme when the user rotates the screen.</p> |
| |
| </div> |
| </div> |
| |
| <div class="layout-content-row"> |
| <div class="layout-content-col span-7"> |
| |
| <img src="../static/content/gridview_horizontal.png"> |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="layout-content-col span-6"> |
| |
| <h4>Horizontal scrolling</h4> |
| <p>Horizontally scrolling lists fix the vertical axis of the item grid. Compared to vertically |
| scrolling lists, the sorting changes slightly to a top-down and left-to-right arrangement. Employ |
| the same technique of cutting off the items in the rightmost column to indicate the scrolling |
| direction.</p> |
| <p>Don't use scrolling tabs as a means to switch views in conjunction with horizontally scrolling grid |
| lists, because the horizontal gesture for view and content navigation will conflict. If you show |
| scrolling tabs for view navigation together with a grid list, use vertical grid scrolling for list |
| navigation.</p> |
| |
| </div> |

| |
| |
| <h2 id="with_labels">Grid List with Labels</h2> |
| |
| <p>Use labels to display additional contextual information for your grid list items.</p> |
| |
| |
| <div class="layout-content-row"> |
| <div class="layout-content-col span-7"> |

| <img src="../static/content/gridview_style.png"> |
| |
| </div> |
| <div class="layout-content-col span-6"> |
| |
| <h4>Style</h4> |
| <p>Use semi-transparent panels on top of the grid list items to display your labels. This allows you to |
| control the contrast and ensures legibility of the labels while letting the content "shine through".</p> |
