FlipView
Details and Options
- Clicking anywhere inside a FlipView advances to the next object.
- Shift-clicking goes to the previous object.
- FlipView [list,Dynamic [i]] takes the displayed object to be specified by the dynamically updated current value of i, with the value of i being reset if a new object is displayed.
- The following options can be given:
-
- With the default option setting ImageSize->Automatic , FlipView leaves space only for the expri currently being displayed.
- With ImageSize->All , FlipView always leaves space for the largest of the expri to be displayed, so that its overall size does not change.
- Controls such as Button and Slider are not clickable inside FlipView .
- EventHandler intercepts mouse clicks, but passes them through to FlipView if the setting PassEventsDown->True is given.
- The settings for BaseStyle are appended to the default style typically given by the "FlipView" style in the current stylesheet.
