hello!

I have a template repeater that repeats a repeated template in vision. In the designer there is no gap on the edges, but once it goes into the vision client, a gap gets created when resizing the window. I have my aspect ratio at 16:9. See pictures below.

is there any way to keep the formatting the same?

it definitely works best in flow, I have it in BestFit right now only because flow doesn’t seem to be able to resize when working with a reapeater. Is there any way to resize on flow, or should I use Best Fit in some way that works?

I’ve found that anchored layouts work best for template repeaters to keep the scaling uniform.

Is the template set to 'Enable Layout' in its properties?

</div>

it appears to be stretching horizontally more than it is vertically, so the base template can’t maintain it’s aspect ratio. Is there any way to make the base template stretch out horizontally without stretching the text?

Are you scaling the fonts in the base template?

</div>

no, right now the base templates have set fonts. setting the layout style to vertical is basically what I want, but I want it to scale vertically as much as possible, then fill in the rest using the same style as a vertical layout

ended up solving it by just making the main screen individual templates rather than a template repeater
