Line spacing

Jacek — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:21:14 GMT

Hi,

In my experiment I am using a survey page with radiobuttons. As the participants will be touching the screen I need to put some extra space between the lines (options). I know that I can manipulate with font height but is there a way to manipulate the line spacing in radiobuttons? I couldn't find anything on the forum.
Cheers,
Jacek

Thanks again Dave. It was not an obvious solution and it works perfectly.
Best,
Jacek

If you need that, the proper way to set this up is:

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=mypage]
</block>

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=profw1]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons profw1>
/ options = ("Writer~n", "Scientist~n", "Royalty~n", "Singer~n")
/ optionvalues = ("Writer", "Scientist", "Royalty", "Singer")
/ validresponse = (anyresponse)
/ correctresponse = ("Writer")
/ responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", -30, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ position = (70, 50)
/ required = false
</radiobuttons>

But in that case I will not know whether the participant correctly recognized a person on the picture.

Remove both /validresponse and /correctresponse from the element.

Well, almost fine.
The spacing is OK, but I just realized that it does not record my answers. I tried different options but it still does not recognize my answers. Any idea?
example below

<radiobuttons profw1>
/ options = ("Writer~n", "Scientist~n", "Royalty~n", "Singer~n")
/ correctresponse = ("Writer")
/ responsefontstyle = ("Verdana", -30, true, false, false, false, 5, 0)
/ position = (70, 50)
/ validresponse = ("Writer", "Scientist", "Royalty", "Singer")
/ required = false
</radiobuttons>

You would use special characters (see the documentation topic of the same name for details), to insert line breaks within the options in order to space them out:

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=myradiobuttons]
</surveypage>

<radiobuttons myradiobuttons>
/ options = ("~nA~n", "~nB~n", "~nC~n")
</radiobuttons>
